Physics

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000kg , is going from west to east, while car B, of mass 1400 kg , isgoing from north to south at 14.0 m/s . As a result of thiscollision, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one afterwards.In your role as an expert witness, you inspect the scene anddetermine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at anangle of 60.0 ∘ south of east from the point of impact. How fastwere the enmeshed cars moving just after the collision? How fastwas car A going just before the collision?
