A 2000kg car travelling at 10.0m/s collides with a 3000kg car that is initially a rest at a stoplight. The cars stick together and move 2.00m before friction cause them to stop. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the cars and the road, assuming that the negative acceleration is constant and all wheels of both cars lock at the time of impact
