Approximate distance it takes to stop the car, based on the speed car is traveling, is provided below:
Miles perhour Stoppingdistance (ft.)
25 62
35 106
45 161
50 195
55 228
65 306
i) Determine quatratic function based on stopping distance for 55 mph and 65 mph and fact that at 0 mph stopping distance is 0 feet.
ii) Use that equation to forecast stopping distances for 55mph and 65 mph and compare them with distances given in chart.
C) If equation continues to be valid for higher speeds, how many feet would it take to stop drag racer which reaches a speed of 230 mph?
