A 2500 kg truck is traveling west through an intersection at 3.0 m/s when it is hit simultaneously from the side and the rear. One car is a 1500 kg compact traveling south at 4.0 m/s. The other is a 1700 kg midsize traveling west at 8.0 m/s. The three vehicles become entangled and slide as one body after collision. What is their velocity (magnitude and direction) immediately after the collision?

A 1600 kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2200 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 5.60 m west and 6.10 m south of...
