An engineer is setting a speed limit on a road. She wants a car to be able to stop in 73.0ft and knows that the maximum rate at which a car can safely brake is 17.0t/s. What initial speed (in given units) will allow the car to come a stop at the stop sign when braking with this acceleration? mph Could a car traveling 40mph come to a stop before the stop sign? yes no
