Thanks for the response and the suggestion for future problems! I just assumed I did the problem wrong because the velocity was so high. I find these forums really helpful for finding good ways of thinking about problems but this was obviously my first post. Thanks again!
Homework Statement
A 1300-kg car collides with a 15,000-kg truck at an intersection and they couple together and move off as one leaving a skid mark 5m long that makes an angle of 30.0° with the original direction of the car. If μk = 0.700, find the initial velocities of the car and truck...
