A 1500-kg car traveling east with a speed of 25.0 m/s

A 1500-kg car traveling east with a speed of 25.0 m/s collides at an intersection with a 2500-kg van traveling north at a speed of 20.0 m/s. Find the direction and magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage after the collision, assuming that the vehicles undergo a perfectly inelastic collision (i.e. they stick together).
