At the intersection of El Roble road and Paseo Universitario road, a 1000 kg car A traveling east on Paseo Universitario road collides with a 2000 kg pick-up truck B traveling north on El Roble road and runs the stop light. The two vehicles are stuck together after the collision, and slide at 18.0 m/s in a direction 28° North of East. Calculate the speed of each vehicle before the collision. Your answer must be given in the order VA / VB. a) 47.7 m/s / 12.7 m/s b) 38 m/s / 43 m/s c) 13.7 m/s / 48.2 m/s d) 17.3 m/s / 43.8 m/s
