From Joanna:
The algebraic relation d=0.0056^2 ++ 0.14s models the relation between a vehicle's stopping distance d, in metres, and its speed s, in kilometres per hour.
(a) What is the fastest you could drive and still be able to stop within 80 m?
(b) What is the stopping distance for a car travelling at 120 km/h?
(c) Estimate the length of an average car. How many car lengths does the the stopping distance in (b) correspond to?
