Question: A car with mass mc = 1 4 7 0 kgmc = 1 4 7 0 kg is traveling west through an intersection with a

A car with mass mc=1470kgmc=1470kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=8.61m/svc=8.61m/s when a truck of mass mt=1840kgmt=1840kg traveling south at vt=7.33m/svt=7.33m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of k=0.500k=0.500. Associate the positive xx direction with east and the positive yy direction with north. Using the symbols provided in the palette below as opposed to their numeric equivalents, enter an expression, in Cartesian unit-vector notation, for the velocity of the vehicles immediately after the collision, as they begin to slide as a composite object.
