A 1500 kg car is sliding at 10 m/s on a snow-covered frictionless road. Then it collides with and sticks to another 1500 kg car that is initially at rest on a snow- covered frictionless road. If the combined cars slide 3 m after the collision on a road not covered with snow and then stop, what is the kinetic friction coefficient of the non-snow covered part of the road?

Question

A 1500 kg car is sliding at 10 m/s on a snow-covered frictionless road. Then it
collides with and sticks to another 1500 kg car that is initially at rest on a snow-
covered frictionless road. If the combined cars slide 3 m after the collision on a
road not covered with snow and then stop, what is the kinetic friction coefficient
of the non-snow covered part of the road?
