Immediately following a completely inelastic collision between a Mini Countryman and a Lamborghini Huracán the two cars lock together and travel at 65.0 km/h as shown.  You know the speed of the Mini prior to the collision was 104.0 km/h. On the diagram below the direction the Mini was travelling prior to collision is indicated.  The “Black Box” data recorder malfunctioned on the Lambo - all data records come from the Mini. Find the velocity of the Lambo prior to the collision. The mass of the Lamborghini is 1553 kg.  The mass of the Mini is 1265 kg.
