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.
