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 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?
Conclusion:-
(a) Speed of sadan just before collision = 19.499 m/s
(b) Speed of SUV just before collision = 13.018 m/s.
