She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.20 m/s. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at -1.90 m/s because the road is wet. Will there be a collision? O Yes O No If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Sue's car and the van.
