At an intersection car B was traveling south and car A was
traveling 30° north of east when they slammed into each other.
Upon investigation it was found that after the crash the two cars
got stuck and skidded off at an angle of 10° north of east. Each
driver claimed that he was going at the speed limit of 50 km/h and
that he tried to slow down but couldn’t avoid the crash because the
other driver was going a lot faster. Knowing that the masses of
cars A and B were 1500 kg and 1200 kg, respectively, determine
(a) which car was going faster, (b) the speed of the faster of the
two cars if the slower car was traveling at the speed limit
