Concept explainers
The distance d (in ft) required to stop a car that was traveling at speed v (in mph) before the brakes were applied depends on the amount of friction between the tires and the road and the driver’s reaction time. After an accident, a legal team hired an engineering firm to collect data for the stretch of road where the accident occurred. Based on the data, the stopping distance is given by
a. Determine the distance required to stop a car going 50 mph.
b. Up to what speed (to the nearest mph) could a motorist be traveling and still have adequate stopping distance to avoid hitting a deer 330 ft away?
