Find what were the original speeds of the two cars

Reference no: EM13714493

Problem: The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 12m/s, they then have the same kinetic energy.

Part A: What were the original speeds of the two cars?

I need help to find the original speeds of the two cars and express your answers using two significant figures separated by a comma.
