Question

 Refer to the illustration. An automobile with mass 1114 kg is driving to the left (−x direction) at speed 12 m/s across a crossroads when a heavy SUV of mass 1968 kg driving from top to bottom (−y direction) at speed 9.6 m/s smashes into the car. The automobiles stick together and skid across the road, which has a coefficient of friction of kinetic friction μk = 0.5. In the following, a subscript c refers to the automobile, and subscript t refers to the SUV.

How far, in meters, will the vehicles slide after the collision?
