A 1000-kg car moving at 30m/s due north collides completely elastically with a 1250-kg truck heading north of east. After the collision the truck is moving due north and the car is moving due east. Find the initial speed of the truck.
I think the answer is 34m/s and we have to break it up into x and y component and equate them but please tell me the theory behind it. Thanks

A 8000 kg car heading north collides at an intersection with a 12,000 kg truck heading west. If they lock together and travel at 30 m/s at 28° north of west just after the collision, how fast was the west bound car initially traveling?
On an icy road, a 1600-kg car moving north at 23 m/s collides with a 2400-kg car moving east at 16 m/s. The two cars stick and move together. Let east be the x direction, and north be the y direction. What is the y-component of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision?
A 3000-Kg car moving east at 10m/s collides with a 5000-kg car moving north. The car's stick together and move as a unit after a collision, at an angle of 45 degree north of east and a speed of 5 m/s. Find the speed of 5000 kg car before collision. (Ans: V_iy = 5.66m/s)
A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just after the collision, what is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision? Assume that this is a perfectly elastic collision. Round your answer to the hundredths place. Final velocity of the truck = m/s
A 1500-kg car traveling east at 50 m/s collides with a 2200-kg truck traveling north at 66 m/s. The car and truck become entangled and slide to a stop. What is the final speed immediately after the collision? What angle with respect to the east direction do the entangled vehicles slide?
A 1200·kg car traveling with a velocity of 12·m/s north collides head-on with a 2400·kg truck traveling with a velocity of 8·m/s south. Immediately after the collision, the velocity of the car is 4·m/s south. Take north as the positive direction (a) What is the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision? (b) What impluse is delivered to the car by the truck? (c) What impluse is delivered to the truck by the car?
A truck with a mass of 2300kg is moving north at 50km/hr when it collides with a car of mass 1100kg moving east at 75km/hr. Assuming a perfectly inelastic collision, find the speed and angle (relative to east) of the wreckage.
A 1100-kg car is moving at 20 m/s due north. A 1600-kg car is moving at 19 m/s due east. The two cars simultaneously approach an icy intersection where, with no brakes or steering, they collide and stick together. Determine the speed and direction of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. magnitude=? direction=?
. A 1,100 kg car is moving at 20 m/s north when it collides head on with a 390 kg motorcycle moving at 15 m/s south toward the car. Given that the motorcycle and car stick together in the collision, how fast and in what direction will the two vehicles be moving just after the collision
A 1200-kg car is moving at 16.0 m/s due north. A 1500-kg car is moving at 20.0 m/s due east. The two cars simultaneously approach an icy intersection where, with no brakes or steering, they collide and stick together. 1) Determine the speed of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) m/sm/s 2) Determine the direction of the combined two-car wreck immediately after the collision. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
