Question: Problem 1 4 . 0 2 0 - Coordinates of wall Cruiser ( A ) was traveling east at ( 6 6

Problem 14.020- Coordinates of wall
Cruiser \( A \) was traveling east at \(66\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) 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 \(45\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) 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 \(78.8\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) and that the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at \( D \) was 1.5 s , determine the coordinates of \( D \).
\(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{D}}\)
The coordinate of \( D\left(\mathrm{x}_{\mathrm{D}}\right)\) is \(51.857\vee \mathrm{ft}\).
The coordinate of \( D\left(\mathrm{y}_{\mathrm{D}}\right)\) is
ft.
