Towns A and B in Figure P3.35 are 80.0 km apart. A cou- ple arranges to drive from town A and meet a couple driving from town B at the lake, L. The two couples leave simultane- ously and drive for 2.50 h in the directions shown. Car 1 has a speed of 90.0 km/h. If the cars arrive simultaneously at the lake, what is the speed of car 2? 40.0° 80.0 km 'B Figure P3.35 2.
