2. In an unfortunate, but thankfully harmless, little accident, Mr. Choi bumped his car (mc = 800 kg) into the back of Mr. Kawai's car (mk = 1200 kg) in the school parking lot. The coefficient of friction between each car and the ground is us = 0.6 and the force form Mr. Choi's car on Mr. Kawai's car is FNC-K = 7656 N. Determine the acceleration of Mr. Kawai's car while the two cars are in contact. **Note - static friction is considered in this question because it is being treated as if the wheels are locked, and therefore not spinning but rather sliding across the gound.
