As shown below, a 960 kg car traveling east collides with a 1980 kg pickup truck that is traveling north. The two vehicles stick together as a result of the collision. After the collision, the wreckage is sliding at v = 16 m/s in the direction = 23 east of north. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. The collision occurs during a heavy rainstorm so you can ignore friction forces between the vehicles and the wet road. Express your answers using apropriate mks units. NORTH vg EAST Anh Vcard B.)
