Almost 80% of all traffic accidents involve distracted driving. Looking at a cell phone text message for even a couple of seconds is very dangerous. A typical human reaction time is 190 milliseconds. Assume a car is traveling at 71 mph. If the maximum deceleration of the car is a constant 8.0 m/s², what will be the stopping distance of the car? Take into account the reaction time. Number i Units

Problem 04 Driving your car, you start from rest, go a distance L 105 m, and end up at rest once again. You want to determine the shortest time to accomplish this task (called the minimum-time problem). Your vehicle has a maximum acceleration capability of a₁, and a maximum braking capability of ag. After doing your research, you determine that the minimum-time solution is to accelerate at the maximum a value until time t₁, then decelerate at the maximum a2 value until the stopping time tą. Given values a 7.5 m/s and a₂ = -10 m/s, determine t1, 12, and the car's maximum speed for this minimum-time acceleration profile.
A sprinter accelerates from rest to a top speed with an acceleration whose magnitude is 3.98 m/s². After achieving top speed, he runs the remainder of the race without speeding up or slowing down. The total race is fifty meters long. If the total race is run in 7.75 s, how far does he run during the acceleration phase? Number i Units
