A 1600 kg sedan goes through a wide intersection traveling from north to south when it is hit by a 2000 kg 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 that 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 5.42 m west and 6.37 m south of the impact point.How fast was sedan traveling just before the collision? How fast was SUV traveling just before the collision?

Vy = 8.45m/s

V(sedan) = 30.4m/s

V(suv) = 25.9m/s
