Engr. Howard Wolowitz learned that Sheldon and Penny are on the way to the Comic Book Store. He can't think of any other gift aside from comic books so he decided to go to the store too. Howard is traveling alor
a straight expressway of Pasadena at a constant speed of 30.0 m/s and unexpectedly, at the instant shown in the figure, Sheldon and Penny are traveling on a quarter circular curve at a constant speed of 23.0 m/s
