Question
Cant figure out answer
Imagine your dream car. Maybe it is a Ferrari 550 Maranello, a super-fast Italian car.
Experiments have shown that on smooth, dry roads, the relationship between the braking
distance (d) and speed (s) is given by d(s) = 0.03s2. Speed is given in miles/hour and the
%3D
distance is in feet.
a) How many feet should you leave between you and the car in front of you if you are
driving the Ferrari at 55 mi/hr?
