Two cars collide in an intersection: a 2200kg SUV that had been headed East and a 1500kg sports car that had been headed North. The cars deformed and remained together after colliding, sliding to rest 5.0m from the crash. The angle from the crash to the resting point is 35o N of E. Coefficient of sliding (kinetic) friction is μ=0.80 for both vehicles. There are 8m long skid marks leading into the intersection indicating that the northbound car locked its...
