im trouble with these 2 questions

(1) car skids 85m before striking a parked car in the rear with a velocity of 15ms-1 the cars become locked?
together and skid for a further 5.2 m before coming to rest the mass of car 1 is 1350kg and car 2 has a mass of 1520kg

what is the average frictional force between the road and the cars that bring them to a rest?

(2)
A 500.5kg marshalling boat for a rowing event is stationary.a starting cannon is fired from its bow launching?
at 100ms-1 south as it leaves the gun into the water across the start line.

(A)what is the final velocity of the marshalling boat?

(B)is kinetic energy conserved show through calculations?

From the above-referenced second bullet point: "If you don't know where to start, then at least explain what you think the main concept is."
