An artillery crew demonstrates its skill by firing a shell at an angle of 88.0 degress and then lowering the gun barrel and firing a second shell at a smaller angle of 36.0 degress in such a way that the two shells collide in midair. The initial velocity of both shells is 930. m/s.
Find the time elapsed between the two firings, in seconds. Neglect air resistance.

- You are investigating an accident that occurred early on a foggy morning in Oxfordshire. A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east. From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and, according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver.
