The roads are icy, and you observe a head-on collision on Summit, at the corner with Rhodes: a 1 ton car swerves out of his lane and slides through a stop sign at 40 mph straight into a 3 ton SUV traveling at 11 mph in the other direction. The car and the SUV crumple from the collision, and stick together. What is the final velocity, in MPH, of the SUV/car entanglement (the positive direction is the direction the car was initially going)?
