Question: Problem 1 4 . 0 2 0 - Coordinates of wall Cruiser ( A ) was traveling east at ( 6 9

Problem 14.020- Coordinates of wall
Cruiser \( A \) was traveling east at \(69\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) 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 mi/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 Bwas \(80.6\mathrm{mi}/\mathrm{h}\) and that the time elapsed from the first collision to the stop at \( D \) was 1.5 s , determine the coordinates of \( D \).
(\(\left.y_{D}\right)\)
The coordinste of \( D\left(x_{D}\right)\) is
* ft.
The coordinate of \( D\left(y_{D}\right)\) is
\((3)\mathrm{ft}\).
