Using the Work-KE Theorem, calculate the ratio of the forces needed to bring a 1545-kg car to a stop from a speed of 89.2 km. The top force is for a stopping distance of 1.83 m (very real distance for an unplanned stop) and the bottom force is for a stopping distance of 139 m (a fairly typical distance for a non-panic stop). Calculate the two forces separately before calculating the ratio.
