Question:
This problem examines the motion of an automobile traveling on a crest vertical curve with the following profile:
y = 100 + 0.1 x - 0.0005 x2
where y and x represent respectively the roadway elevation (in feet) and the horizontal distance (also in feet). The automobile sets the brakes when x=0, while traveling at 45 mph. The friction factor is 0.3, and air resistance is negligible.
Find the stopping distance ignoring the centrifugal acceleration.
