Part of the job of police officers is to investigate traffic accidents to determine what caused the accident and which driver was at fault. They measure the braking distance using skid marks and calculate speeds using the mathematical relationships just like we have here, although they often use different formulas to account for various factors such as road conditions. Let’s go back to the Ferrari on a smooth, dry road since we know the relationship. 1. Write an equation of the function s(d) that gives the speed the car was traveling for a given braking distance.
2. Create a table that shows the speed the car was traveling based upon the braking distance and graph the function s(d)
