1. Continued defunding and denigration of public primary education will result in less educational opportunity for those who cannot afford privately funded education.
2. The same is true of college. We already see crushing debt as the only route to college education by a large proportion of our citizens.
3. Continued growth of automation will reduce further the number of jobs in industry. Coupled with reduced education, industrial job opportunities are further reduced.
By conservation of momentum,
(900 kg) (15.0 m/s) i + (750 kg) (20.0 m/s) j = (900 kg + 750 kg) v
where v is the velocity vector of the combined cars. Solve for v :
(13,500 i + 15,000 j) kg•m/s = (1650 kg) v
v ≈ (8.18 i + 9.09 j) m/s
Then the direction of v relative to East is θ such that
tan(θ) ≈ 9.09/8.18 ⇒ θ ≈ 48.0°
so the wreckages would move at approximately 48.0° north of east.
