2. In an auto accident, a car hit a pedestrian and the driver then slammed on the brakes to stop the car. During the subsequent trial, the driver's lawyer claimed that he was obeying the posted speed limit 60.0-kph, but that the legal speed was too high to allow him to see and react to the pedestrian in time. You have been called in as the state's expert witness. Your investigation of the accident found that the skid marks made while the brakes were applied were 86.0 m long, and the tread on the tires produced a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.30 with the road. a. In your testimony in court, will you say that the driver was obeying the posted speed? You must be able to back up your conclusion with clear reasoning because one of the lawyers will surely cross-examine you. b. If the driver's speeding ticket were 200 pesos for each kilometer per hour he was driving above the posted speed limit, would he have to pay a fine? If so, how much would it be?

Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
Miles wants to chase a truck that is going at a speed of 25.0 kph, and thus starts accelerating from rest at 4.00 m/s. Caesar, sensing that Miles wants to steal property, and seeing him when he is 100.0 m away from him, rides a police car and starts accelerating at 10.0 m/s. Once Caesar’s car catches Miles, what is the distance traveled by the truck since Caesar started chasing Miles?
Mr. Pascual and Mr. Reyes decide to go to Batangas using a car and a motorcycle, respectively. They agree to meet at UST st so that they will start traveling at the same time. However, at the time of their meet-up, Mr. Reyes is late and he said Mr. Pascual that he will catch up. Mr. Pascual then left UST and start to travel at an average speed of 45.5 kph. After 19 minutes, Mr. Reyes arrived at UST and started to travel to batangas at an average speed of 67.81 kph. What is the total distance traveled in kilometers by Mr. Reyes by the time he catch up with Mr. Pascual? NOTE: The reference point will be at UST

Mario rides his motorcycle in going to school. He drives at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour. The distance between his house and the school is 15 kilometers. Every time he sees his best friend Jessica walking on the road, he invites her for a ride and lowers his speed. On the other hand, he increases his speed when he wakes up late for school. a) If x represents the time it takes Mario to drive to school with the given distance of 15 kilometers, how will you represent the relationship of his speed (y) versus the time (x)?
