An automobile engine propels a $1000 \,kg$ car $(A)$ along a levelled road at a speed of $36 \,km \,h^{-1}$. Find the power if the opposing frictional force is $100 \,N$. Now,suppose after travelling a distance of $200 \,m$,this car collides with another stationary car $(B)$ of the same mass and comes to rest. Let its engine also stop at the same time. Now car $(B)$ starts moving on the same level road without its engine started. Find the speed of the car $(B)$ just after the collision.
