Question

2. A 1500-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 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.39 m west and 6.43 m south of

the impact point. How fast was each car traveling just before the collision?
