On dry concrete, a car can decelerate at a rate of 7.00 m/s^2, whereas on wet concrete it can decelerate at only 5.00 m/s^2. Find the distances necessary to stop a car moving at 30.0 m/s (about 110km/h) (a) on dry concrete and (b) on wet concrete. (c) Repeat both calculations, finding the displacement from the poiint where the driver sees a traffic light turn red, taking into account his reaction time of 0.500 s to get his foot on the brake.

Cranberries can be harvested using either a "wet" method or a "dry" method. Dry-harvested cranberries can be sold at a premium, while wet-harvested cranberries are used mainly for cranberry juice and bring in less revenue. Fresh Made Cranberry Cooperative must decide how much of its cranberry crop should be harvested wet and how much should be dry harvested. Fresh Made has 5,000 barrels of cranberries that can be harvested using either the wet or dry method. Dry cranberries are sold...
