Asked by lizbeth
A 1180 kg car and 4720 kg truck undergo a perfectly inelastic collision. Before the collision, the car was traveling southward at 1.45 m/s , and the truck westward at 8.80 m/s.
Find the velocity of the wreckage immediately after the collision.
Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. Assume that the positive x and y axes are directed eastward and northward, respectively.

momentum is conserved
x-component
... -8.80 [4720 / (4720 + 1180)]
y-component
... -1.45 [1180 / (1180 + 4720)]
v = √(x^2 + y^2)
the tangent of the reference angle in quad III is ... y/x
