A truck travels along a straight, level road at the speed of 100ft/sec. when the driver is forced to apply the breaks to avoid an accident. If the truck undergoes a constant deceleration of 19ft/sec^2, how far does the truck travel before coming to a complete stop? \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Time to stop = 100/19 seconds. \n" ); document.write( "Avg speed for the time = (100+0)/2 = 50 ft/sec \n" ); document.write( "distance = (100/19)*50 \n" ); document.write( "d = 5000/19 feet \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
