A car moving due east at 6 m/s collides at the intersection with an identical car. If the entangled wreckage moves at 5.5 m/s at 22 degrees north of east after the collision, what was the velocity and direction of the second car immediately before the collision? The entangled wreckage slides along the horizontal road leaving skid marks. If the coefficient of friction between the entangled wreckage and the road is 0.34, how long are the skid marks?
