Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 59
The stoplight had just changed and a 2000 kg Cadillac had entered the intersection, heading north at 3.0 m/s, when it was struck by a 1000 kg eastbound Volkswagen. The cars stuck together and slid to a halt, leaving skid marks angled 35Β° north of east. How fast was the Volkswagen going just before the impact?
