A 1500kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2200kg SUV traveling from east to west. The two cars become enmeshed due to the impact and slide as one thereafter. On-the-scene measurements show the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires of these cars and the pavement is 0.75, and the cars slide to a halt at a point 5.39m west and 6.43m south of the impact point. How fast was each car traveling just before the collision?
