Relative Velocity in a Left-Hand Turn

[jaredmt]

Homework Statement

Cars A and B are going around a left-hand turn. car B is turning with radius 96m. Car A is to the right of car B and is turning with radius 100m.
Car A is passing car B with relative velocity of 1 m/s. Knowing that the speeds of both cars are constant and that the relative acceleration of car A with respect to car B is .25 m/s^2 directed toward the center of curvature, determine (a) the speed of car A and (b) the speed of car B.

The Attempt at a Solution

im not sure what to do, there's a lot of formulas in this chapter. i tried a few things but nothing worked. the answer for (a) is 25 m/s but i don't know how I am supposed to get that
