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 ea
st 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?

These are the x and y component of position vector
Answer:
<em>155.80rad/s</em>
Explanation:
Using the equation of motion to find the angular acceleration:
is the final angular velocity in rad/s
is the initial angular velocity in rad/s
is the angular acceleration
t is the time taken
Given the following
Time = 4.1secs
Convert the angular velocity to rad/s
1rpm = 0.10472rad/s
6100rpm = x
x = 6100 * 0.10472
x = 638.792rad/s
Get the angular acceleration:
Recall that:
638.792 = 0 + ∝(4.1)
4.1∝ = 638.792
∝ = 638.792/4.1
∝ = 155.80rad/s
<em>Hence the angular acceleration as the blades slow down is 155.80rad/s</em>
