A car is traveling at 60 feet per second when the driver spots a deer in the road 300 feet ahead and slams on the brakes. The following readings of the car's speed at various times are given in the table below. Time is measured in seconds (since the driver applied the brakes) and speeds are measured in feet per second. 0 2 4 6 7 Speed 60 50 30 12 0 Time (1) Give an estimate for the minimum distance the car will travel after the brakes are applied. Show your work. State any assumptions you are making. (2) Give an estimate for the maximum distance the car will travel after the brakes are applied. Show your work. (3) If the deer freezes and does not move, will the car hit the deer? Explain.
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
I attached a picture of the question; I have most of it but I want to double check
