Q2/If the motorcycle has a deceleration of a, = -(0.001s) m/s? and its speed at position A is 25 m/s, determine the magnitude of its acceleration when it passes point B. 90° 300 m
Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A. Both cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to decelerate at 12 ft/s^2 . It takes the driver of car A 0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at 19 ft/s^2. Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision.
