The year is 1927. You are a crime scene investigator. You are considering pressing reckless driving charges against the driver of Car 2. To do this, you must find the speed of Car 2 before the crash. Allegedly, Car 1 was parked, when Car 2 crashed into it. Using the skid pattern, you determine that the speed of the two joined vehicles was 17 m/s immediately following the impact. Car 1 has mass of 1800 kg and Car 2 has a mass of 1100 kg.
