Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the samedirection, the lead car at 25.1m/s and the other car at 29.4m/s. Atthe moment the cars are 39.6m apart, the lead driver applies thebrakes, causing her car to have an acceleration of-1.94m/s2.
1-How long does it take for the lead car to stop?
2-What is the distance it travels during this time?
3-Assuming that the chasing car brakes at the same time as thelead car, what must be the chasing car's minimum negativeacceleration so as not to hit the lead car?4-How long does it takefor the chasing car to stop?
