A car with a mass of 1000 kg and a speed of v1 = 20.0 m/s approaches an intersection, as shown in the figure(Figure 1). A 1230 kg minivan traveling at v2 is heading for the same intersection. The car and minivan collide and stick together. The direction of the wreckage after the collision is θ = 44.0 ∘ above the x-axis. You may want to review(Pages 272 - 277).

Part A: Find the initial speed of the minivan, assuming external forces can be ignored.

V2 = _______ m/s

Part B: Find the final speed of the wreckage.

Vf = _______ m/s
