Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians. Moral: If you must drink, please don't drive!

Consider a ski jumper moving down a track to acquire sufficient speed to accomplish the ski jumping task. The length of the track is I = 30 m and the track makes an angle 0 = 40° with the horizontal. If the skier starts at the top of the track with zero initial speed, determine the takeoff speed, v2. of the skier at the bottom of the track using the conservation of energy principle. Assume that the effects of friction and air resistance are negligible.
