A 1500 kg hatchback is heading south on a north-south street and
runs into an SUV of mass 2200 kg heading west through the same
intersection. At the time of the crash, the two vehicles stick
together and go off together. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the tires and the street is given to be 0.750. The
policeman arriving on the scene of the accident finds that the two
vehicles slid 6.43 m south and 5.32 m west of the impact point
before coming to rest. answer given below but i need
steps.
(a) How much work was done by friction in stopping the vehicles
after the collision?
(b) Find the initial velocities of each of the vehicles just before the crash.

A 920-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2100-kg SUV stopped at a red light on a flat dry level road. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 4.0 m before stopping. The police officer on scene, using her SmartPhone, looks up the coefficient of kinetic friction between rubber tires and concrete road as 0.80, she then calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. What was that speed?
The stoplight had just changed and a 2000 kg Cadillac had entered the intersection, heading north at 2.4 m/s, when it was struck by a 1200 kg eastbound Volkswagen. The cars stuck together and slid to a halt, leaving skid marks angled 35° north of east. Part A - How fast was the Volkswagen going just before the impact?

Suppose a small compact car with a mass of 1000 kg is traveling north on Morewood Avenue at a speed of 15 m/s. At the intersection of Morewood and Fifth Avenues, it collides with a truck with a mass of 2000 kgthat is traveling east on Fifth Avenue at 10 m/s. It’s now 2 seconds after the collision has occurred. Fortunately, all occupants were wearing seat belts and there were no injuries, but the two vehicles became thoroughly tangled and...
