Question

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was
traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 Ilb and was traveling westward at 45.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward
with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires
and the pavement to be 0.750. How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses
English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.)
speed of car A:
mph
