Chapter 10.2, Problem 52PPS
To determine

To explain: whether the speedingcar before applying the brakes on a dry, concrete road.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

In the formula s=30fd , s is the speed of a car in miles per hour, d is the distance the car skidded in feet, and f is friction. The table shows different values of f . At an accident scene, a car made 100 foot skid marks before hitting another car. If the speed limit was 55 miles per hour.

  Pre-Algebra Student Edition, Chapter 10.2, Problem 52PPS

Calculation:

From the table, the value of f for dry concrete roads is 0.8.

Given formula is s=30fd .

  s=30fds=30.0.8.100   Substituteffor0.8,dfor100s=2400   Multiplys=48.9897   Useacalculators49   Roundtothenearesttenth

Since length of the skid mark is 100 feet, the car was travelling at least 49 mph before the driver applied the brake.

It was not for the collision, the car would have been longer and the car would have been travelling at a higher rate than 55 mph.

So, the car may have been speeding.
