A car (of mass 1500 kg) and a small truck (of mass 2000 kg) collide suddenly at right angles at an icy intersection

The car was originally traveling eastward at 20.0 m/s and the truck was traveling northward at 20.0 m/s just before the collision took place. What is the speed of the combined wreck just after the collision if the vehicles become enmeshed?
