A 500Kg Ford focus automobile is initially travelling at vi, focus=(60i + 20j)Km/hr when it inelastically collides with a 16.7Mg semitruck initally traveling at vi,truck=(-30i-110j)Km/hr. problems: a) what is the final velocity immediately after the inelastic collision? b) assume that, just after the collision , the ford focus and semitruck begin to slide across the pavement due to a uniform kinetic friction with coefficient uk=0.45. how far will they slide before coming to a stop.
