Question: A car with mass mc = 1 0 2 0 kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc = 7 .

A car with mass mc=1020kg is traveling west through an intersection with a speed of vc=7.41m/s when a truck of mass mt=1590kg traveling south at vt=15.28m/s fails to yield. The vehicles collide, they stick together, and they slide on the asphalt which has a coefficient of kinetic friction of k=0.500. Associate the positive x direction with east and the positive ydirection with north. How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?
