Question: Problem 1 4 . 0 2 0 - Coordinates of wall Cruiser A was traveling east at 6 9 m i h on a police

Problem 14.020- Coordinates of wall
Cruiser A was traveling east at 69mih on a police emergency call when it was hit at an intersection by car B, which was traveling south at high speed. After sliding together on the wet pavement, the two cars hit cruiser C, which was traveling north at 45mih and was 63 ft from the intersection at the time of the first collision. Stuck together, the three cars hit a wall and came to a stop at D. Knowing that car B weighs 3600 lb and that each of the cruisers weighs 3000 lb , solve the problem by neglecting the forces exerted on the cars by the wet pavement and treating the cars as point masses. Knowing that the speed of car B was 80.6mih and that the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at D was 1.5 s , determine the coordinates of D.
