Answer:
Explanation:
Using the kinematics equation to determine the velocity of car B.
where;
initial velocity
= constant deceleration
Assuming the constant deceleration is = -12 ft/s^2
Also, the kinematic equation that relates to the distance with the time is:
Then:
The distance traveled by car B in the given time (t) is expressed as:
For car A, the needed time (t) to come to rest is:
Also, the distance traveled by car A in the given time (t) is expressed as:
Relating both velocities:
t = 2.25 s
At t = 2.25s, the required minimum distance can be estimated by equating both distances traveled by both cars
i.e.
d + 104.625 = 114.75
d = 114.75 - 104.625
d = 10.125 ft
