Physics Problem, A Real Life Car Crash?
Car Alpha enters an intersection traveling East at 23.5mph. Car Beta is traveling North at an unknown velocity. Beta crashes into the side of Alpha, rendering both vehicles inoperable. When both vehicles come to a complete stop after the collision, Car Alpha has been displaced 25ft to the East and 41.25ft to the North of the point of impact. Car Beta comes to rest 25ft to the East and 6.75ft to the North of the point of impact.
At what approximate velocity was Car Beta traveling at the point of impact?
