An engineer is setting a speed limit on a road. She wants a car to be able to stop in 191ft and knows that the maximum rate at which a car can safely brake is 16.0ft/s2.   What initial speed (in given units) will allow the car to come a stop at the stop sign when braking with this acceleration?     Could a car traveling 60mph come to a stop before the stop sign?
