A car is traveling up a 1.5% grade at 65 mi/hr on good, wet pavement. The driver brakes to try to avoid hitting a cone on the road that is 300 ft ahead. The driver’s reaction time is 1.5 second. When the driver first applies the brakes, a software flaw causes the braking efficiency to lower to 0.8 for 100 ft. After the initial 100 ft, the braking efficiency returns to 1.0. How fast will the driver be going when the cone on the road is hit if the coefficient of rolling resistance is constant at 0.015? (Assume minimum theoretical stopping distance and ignore aerodynamic resistance.)

A driver is traveling 70 mi/hr on a road with a -2% downgrade. The driver’s vehicle has a braking efficiency of 90% and has anti-lock brakes. There is a stalled car on the road 500 ft ahead of the driver. The road is in good condition and is initially dry, but is wet for a 200 ft stretch just before the stalled car. What is the maximum allowable perception-reaction time of the driver such that she can still stop before...
