s looking around for her wallet when she suddenly realized the car in front of her had stopped. She says she "panicked" and slammed on her brakes.

b. the Schachter-Singer
c. the James-Lange
d. Walter Cannon's
Walter Cannon in his fight or flight theory notes that the human brain is designed to react as fast as possible to keep us safe by ensuring our body is prepared for action. Theresa being able to slam on her brakes after panicking conforms to the fundamentals of this theory. Also Cannon also in another theory known as the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion stated that in human beings, there is a simultaneous feeling of emotion and physiological reactions such as trembling, sweating, racing hearts.
Ok this is how I approached it: I know f= ma where a is acceleration, which is v^2/r I know static friction is f=(mu)N where N is m*g therefore: (mu)m*g=m*v^2/r m's cancel out leaving: (mu)r*g = v^2
