26) You have been called as a forensics expert witness in a trial regarding an auto accident. The plaintiff was traveling East at 13.0 m/s when they were struck by the defendant's car which had been traveling North. The cars, each of mass 925 kg, stuck together and the skid marks left on the pavement make an angle of 55.0° north of east. The plaintiff contends that the defendant was speeding. What was the speed of the defendant's car before the collision, and did it exceed the 35.0 mph speed limit? N Plaintiff v = 13.0 m/s (Skid marks) 55.0° Defendant v = ?
