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?

Two cars collide at an intersection. Car A, with a mass of 2000 kg, is going from west to east, while car of mass 1500 kg, is going from north to south at 15 m/s. As a result, the two cars become enmeshed and move as one. As an expert witness, you inspect the scene and determine that, after the collision, the enmeshed cars moved at an angle of 52∘ south of east from the point of impact. How fast...

A 1800-kg car approaches an intersection traveling north at 20.0 m/s. A 1600-kg car approaches the same intersection traveling east at 10.0 m/s. The two cars collide at the intersection and lock together. Ignoring any external forces that act on the cars during the collision, what is the velocity of the cars immediately after the collision?

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?
