A 1500Kg car traveling east at 18.0m/s collides with a 2000Kg truck traveling at 25.0m/s north. If the cars lock together after the collision how fast will they be going and in what direction? If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the surface is 0.30 how far will they slide before they stop?

A 1500kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2200kg SUV traveling from east to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.39m west and 6.43m south of the impact point. How fast was each car traveling just before the collision?

A 1400 sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2400 SUV traveling from east to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.750, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.60 west and 6.16 south of the impact point. How fast was sedan traveling just before the collision? How fast was SUV traveling just before the collision?
