A driver in Spain is on a street that has a posted speed limit of vm=75 km/hr and is traveling above the speed limit by vc=28 km/hr. A SUV pulls out of a garage into the street in front of the driver d=24 m in front if of the driver and stops there. The driver immediately brakes and begins decelerating at a rate of ab=4.9 m/s^2. How fast in meters per second is the driver traveling when he hits the SUV in front of him?
