Assume that the brakes in your car result in a constant deceleration of magnitude a, which is independent of how fast you are driving. The stopping distance is the distance that your car continues to move forward after you have pressed the brakes. Suppose that when driving 30 mph, your car's stopping distance is d. What is your car's stopping distance when driving 60 mph?

In the lab you explored how a lioness can catch a gazelle despite the fact that the lioness' top speed is slower than gazelle's, and gazelle has a distance head start during the chase. The graph below uses the same approximations you did in the lab and assumes that the lioness and the gazelle have constant accelerations until the they reach their top speeds. 30 Velocity, mi ✔20 0 0 5 15 20 Time,s If lioness gave up an unsuccessful chase at the moment she reached her top speed, what was the minimal separation between the gazelle and the lioness at the start of the chase. Use the information given to you on the graph above for all parameters you need to answer the question. Assume that the gazelle had a head start in distance, but no head start in time. Gazelle's head start is greater than 35 10 25 m
