How far do the vehicles slide

Reference no: EM13498514

A car with mass 1000kg traveling east at 25 (m/s) runs straight into a truck with mass 1500kg traveling west at 10 (m/s). The car and truck lock bumpers and together slide on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of kinetic friction .6 before coming to rest.

(a). What is the velocity (mag and direction) of the vehicles after the collision?

(b). How far do the vehicles slide?
