a. What is the braking distance, in feet, if the car is going 25 mph? 55 mph? 85mph? Show your work.

At 25 mph, braking distance = d=2.6(25)+(252/22)= 93.41mph

At 55 mph, braking distance = d=2.6(55)+(552/22)= 280.5 mph

At 85 mph, braking distance = d=2.6(85)+(852/22)= 549.41mph

b. Suppose that the car took 450 feet to brake. Use your computations in part (a) to

make a prediction about how fast it was going when the brakes were applied.

c. Graph the distance equation to determine more precisely how fast it was going when the brakes were applied, and plot your calculated results from above onto your graph. Discuss your findings.

From our answers in part (a), we see that the speed for a braking distance of

500 ft is between 55 mph and 85 mph. Estimates within this range can vary,

though based on the computations,
