1. Find the force of friction between the sports car and the station wagon stuck together and the road. The total mass m = 1928kg + 1041kg = 2969kg. The only force in the x-direction is friction: F = μ*N = μ * m * g
2. Find the acceleration due to friction:
F = m*a = μ * m * g => a = μ * g = 0.6 * 9.81
3. Find the time it took the two cars stuck together to slide 12m:
x = 0.5*a*t²
t = sqrt(2*x / a) = sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) )
4. Find the initial velocity of the two cars:
v = a*t = μ * g * sqrt(2 * x / (μ * g) ) = sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g)
5. Use the initial velocity of the two cars combined to find the velocity of the sports car. Momentum must be conserved:
m₁ mass of sports car
v₁ velocity of sports car before the crash
m₂ mass of station wagon
v₂ velocity of station wagon before the crash = 0
v velocity after the crash
m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = (m₁+m₂) * v = m₁*v₁
v₁ = (m₁+m₂) * v / m₁ = (m₁+m₂) * sqrt( 2 * x * μ * g) / m₁
v₁ = 33.9 m/s

Answer:
The second ball
Explanation:
Both balls are under the effect of gravity, accelerating with exactly the same value. The first ball is dropped, therefore its initial velocity is zero. Since the second ball has horizontal and vertical velocity components, its initial velocity is given by:
The vertical component is zero, however, it has a horizontal velocity, so its initial speed is not zero, therefore the secong ball has the greater speed at ground level.
