Velocity table

Problem:



Solution:

The reaction distance is $ r = 3.675v $
The braking distance is $ b = \frac{43}{448}v^2 $
The stopping distance is $ s = 3.675v + \frac{43}{448}v^2 $

The table is

We can solve for $ v $ by using the skid mark. The length of the skid mark is the same as stopping distance.

If we double the reaction time, the reaction distance would double.
