a car with a mass of 900kg and a car with a mass of 2000kg collide. one car is moved away from the impact point as one mass at 16.0m/s in the direction 24 degrees west of south. what was the initial speed of each car prior to the collision?

Answer 1

the answer to what you have typed is easy

if they were both moving 24 deg west of south at 16 before the collision, they can continue after.
However I am sure that is not the case and you have left out some initial conditions.
