2- Car A ( mass MA ) is traveling north at speed V0 and car B (mass 2MA/3 )is traveling at the same speed west .The two cars collide at an intersection ,sticking together .What is their common velocity just after collision ?

من قانون حفظ الزخم، حيث ان الزخم هو حاصل ضرب ألكتلة في السرعة
the point of this problem is to use conservation of momentum. The critical ideas are that momentum is a vector, and that momentum is conserved in collisions.
This means that you have to conserve both the x and y components of momentum.
Before the collision, the total x momentum is simply 2MA/3 vo since the other car has no x motion.
Before the collision, the total y momentum is MAvo.
After the collision, the total momentum in the x direction is (MA+2MA/3) v(x), which should equal to the total x momentum before collision and we have the equation:
2MA/3 vo = (MA+2MA/3)v(x)
where I use v(x) to mean the x component of velocity after collision
obviously, v(x) =2MA/3 vo / (MA+2MA/3)
similarly in the y direction, v(y)=MA vo / (MA+2MA/3)
the tangent of the angle after collision will be given by the ratio of v(y)/v(x):
tan(theta)=v(y)/v(x) = [MA vo / (MA+2MA/3)]/[2MA/3 vo / (MA+2MA/3)]=MA/2MA/3=3/2=1.5
since the tan of 56.3 degrees is 1.5, you know that after the collision both cars move at angle of 56.3 degree, at a velocity v1, that is
v1=v(x)/sin56.3
