You have been hired as an expert witness by an attorney for a trial involving a traffic accident. The attorney's client, the plaintiff in this case, was traveling eastbound toward an intersection at 13.6 m/s as measured just before the accident by a roadside speed meter, and as seen by a trustworthy witness. As the plaintiff entered the intersection, his car was struck by a northbound driver, the defendant in this case, driving a car with identical mass to the plaintiff's. The vehicles stuck together after the collision and left parallel skid marks at an angle of θ = 57.4° north of east, as measured by accident investigators. The defendant is claiming that he was traveling within the 35 mi/h speed limit. What advice do you give to the attorney?   Choose One The defendant was traveling at 30.4 mi/h. or The defendant was traveling at 39.0 mi/h.     or The defendant was traveling at 47.6 mi/h.
