(16) Imagine a somewhat sporty car, with mass = 1150 kg. This car accelerates with acceleration given by =28.1251- m/s, forte in seconds (up to a maximum of 8 seconds). The driver accelerates the car, steadies the speed and then at some point locks up the brakes to stop the tires turning. The coefficient of kinetic friction, M =0.5 between the tires and ground. Let tą be the time spent accelerating (0S1,5 8). Let t; be the time it takes the car to stop after the brakes are applied. On paper: set up the mathematics to determine speed as a function of acceleration time; determine the time required to stop using ground friction only, from initial speed determined above; determine distance traveled by the car in the time interval just calculated
