Explanation:

In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form, If the crest of an ocean wave moves a distance of 20 meters in 10 seconds, then the speed of the ocean wave is 2.0 m/s.

The source of information was biased. It was like walking along a river bank in the country and asking everybody you meet whether they like fishing. Or asking 500 people sitting in the bleachers whether they like baseball.
I'm sure the scientist would have gotten different data if she interviewed 500 teenagers at neighborhood basketball courts, or 500 teenagers at a rock concert.

Answer:

a. 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.

Explanation:

In this exercise, since both cars make a right angle, let's assume that the lighter car only has a horizontal velocity component (vx) and that the heavier one only has a vertical velocity component (vy). The final velocities for both components for the system can be determined as:

$m_{1} v_{x1}+m_{2}v_{x2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fx}\\m_{1} v_{y1}+m_{2}v_{y2} =(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{fy}$

Assume that the lighter car has a 1kg mass and that the heavier car has a 4 kg mass.

$1*13 + 4*0 = (1+4) v_{fx}\\v_{fx}=\frac{13}{5} =2.6\\1*0 + 4*13 = (1+4) v_{fy}\\v_{fy}=\frac{13*4}{5} =10.4\\$

The magnitude of the final velocity of the wreck can be found as:

$v_{f}^{2}= v_{fx}^{2}+ v_{fy}^{2}\\v_{f}=\sqrt[]{2.6^{2} + 10.4^{2}} \\v_{f}= 10.72$

The final velocity has an intensity of roughly 11 m/s

As for the angle, it can be determined in respect to the lighter car (x axis) as follows:

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{v_{fx} }{v_{f}} )\\\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{2.6}{10.7} )\\\theta = 76^{o}$

Therefore, the wreck has a velocity with an intensity of 11 m/s at 76° with respect to the original direction of the lighter car.
