Solution-Determine the distance of closest approach

Determine the distance of closest approach

Reference no: EM132119610

Speedy Mike, driving at 32.0 m/s enters a one-lane tunnel. He then observes a slow-moving van 160m ahead traveling at 5.50 m/s. Mike applies his brakes but can accelerate only at -1.50 m/s^2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision?

If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Mike's car and the van. (if no, Enter "0" for the time.)

Distance ______ m

Time ______ s
