A1500-kg car traveling at 90 km/h toward the east suddenly collides with a 3000-kg car traveling at 60 km/h toward the south. the two cars stick together after the collision. what is the direction of motion of the cars after collision?

Let's take the positive x-direction towards east and the positive y-direction towards south. The momentum must be  conserved on both directions, after the collision. On the x-direction, initially we have only momentum from car 1, while on the y-direction initially only car 2 contributes to the total momentum of the system. After the collision, the two cars will move together with a total mass (m1+m2) and with final velocity vf, which can be decomposed on both directions. All of this translates into the equations:
(1)
(2)
where , ,  and .  and  are the components of the final velocity on both axes x and y.

By dividing equation (2) by (1), we get:


And the tangent of this ratio gives exactly the angle of the velocity vf in the south-east direction, with respect to the positive x-axis, so it gives us the direction of the final velocity:

Aform of energy that is reflected or emitted from objects in the form of electrical and magnetic waves that can travel through space. there are many forms of  electromagnetic  energy including gamma rays, x rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves and radio waves.
