A car with mass mc = 1216 kg is traveling west through an intersection at a magnitude of velocity of vc = 5.5 m/s when a truck of mass mt = 1819 kg traveling south at vt = 7.8 m/s fails to yield and collides with the car. The vehicles become stuck together and slide on the asphalt, which has a coefficient of friction of μk = 0.5. How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?
