A 1600 kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2000 kg 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 5.30 m west and 6.31 m south of the impact point.

Part A
How fast was sedan traveling just before the collision?

Part B
How fast was SUV traveling just before the collision?

A 2100 kg truck is driving south through an intersection at 40 mph when it crashes into a 1200 kg car that was driving east through the intersection at 55 mph. The two vehicle stick together in a sad, scary, twisted mess. What is the velocity (both magnitude and direction) of the wreckage immediately after the collision, before the vehicles have had any time to slow due to friction?

Joe leaves an intersection traveling west in his car. He is 20 feet from the intersection 4 seconds later. At the same time, Joshua leaves the intersection heading north in his car so that his position 4 seconds later is 26 feet from the intersection. If, at that instant time, Joe's speed is 8 feet per second and Joshuas' speed is 12 feet per second, find the rate at which the distance between the two cars is changing to the...
