Question
A motorist traveling on a highway at a speed of 60 mi/h exits onto an ice-covered exit ramp.
Wishing to stop, he applies his brakes until his automobile comes to rest. Knowing that the
magnitude of the total acceleration of the automobile cannot exceed 10 ft/s?, use computational
software (MATLAB, Excel, or any) to determine the minimum time required for the automobile
to come to rest and the distance it travels on the exit ramp during that time if the exit ramp (1) is
straight. Also, solve (1) assuming that the driver applies his brakes so that dv/dt, during each time
interval, (a) remains constant, and (b) varies linearly.
