The maximum deceleration of a car on a dry road is about 8m/s2. If two cars are moving head-on
toward each other at 88 km/h (55 mi/h) and their drivers apply their brakes when they are 85 m apart,
will they collide? If so, at what relative speed? If not, how far apart will they be when they stop? On
the same graph, plot distance versus time for both cars.
