Ima Rilla Saari rushes to her car in order to hurry home and get dressed for work. Failing to realize the dangers of driving under slick and icy conditions, she collides her 919.5 kg Mazda Miata into the rear of a 2,351.9 kg pick-up truck which was at rest at the light on Lake Avenue. Ima's pre-collision speed was 11.5 m/s. Determine the post-collision speed of the two entangled cars as they slide across the ice.
