Question

Two cars are approaching a perpendicular intersection without a stop sign. Car 1 has a mass 900 kg and is heading north and car 2 has mass 900 kg and is heading west. The two cars collide at the intersection, and stick together as a result of the collision. The police report stated that after the collision, the two cars were moving in a direction 35o west of north. What is the ratio of the initial speed of car 1 to car 2?
V1/V2 = cos35/sin35 = 1.428
