A.) A 700- kg car collides with a 1300- kg car that was initially at rest at the origin of an x-y coordinate system. After the collision, the lighter car moves at 15.0 km/h in a direction of 30 o with respect to the positive x axis. The heavier car moves at 18 km/h at -41 o with respect to the positive x axis. What was the initial speed of the lighter car (in km/h)?

B.) What was the initial direction (as measured counterclockwise from the x-axis)?

I found the answer for A but can't seem to find the answer for B

A 1430 kg car is initially at rest on level ground when the engine does 380 000 J of work on it in 10.0 s. If all of the work is converted into kinetic energy, what is the final speed of the car? What was the power? After the car reaches its top speed, the engine cuts out and the car begins to roll up a hill. If the car continues to roll until all of its kinetic energy has...

A 2290 kg car traveling at 11.7 m/s collides with a 2620 kg car that is initially at rest at the stoplight. The cars stick together and move 3.30 m before friction causes them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction betwen the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and that all wheels on both cars lock at the time of impact.

A proton collides elastically with another proton that is initially at rest. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 4.00e5 m/s. The incoming proton has an initial speed of 4.00e5 m/s and makes a glancing collision with the second proton (at close separations, the protons exert a repulsive electrostatic force on each other). After the collision, one proton moves off at an angle of 30.0 degrees to the original direction of motion and the second deflects at an angle...
