Homework Statement
A truck (4 000 kg) runs a red light and enters an intersection traveling at 81 km/h [E]. The truck collides with a car (2
000 kg) that was traveling at 54 km/h [N20oW]. Immediately after the collision the truck was traveling at 60 km/h [N
30o E]. Determine the velocity vector of the car immediately after the collision.
Homework Equations
I used the law of conservation of momentum. I used the concept that momentum is conserved in each component direction.
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer that I got was a velocity of approx 99 km/h [E32S]. Can anyone confirm this?
