This assumes that the wave has velocity c (is light).
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:
Assume that the lighter car has a 1kg mass and that the heavier car has a 4 kg mass.
The magnitude of the final velocity of the wreck can be found as:
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:
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.
