The stopping distance of a car can be modeled by the function where d equals the distance it takes to stop and v equals the speed of the car. If it takes a car 114 feet to stop, how fast was it going? d(114)=0.0076+2.8V

Stopping Distance For a certain model of car the distance $d$ required to stop the vehicle if it is traveling at $v$ mi/h is given by the formula $$ d=v+\frac{v^{2}}{20} $$ where $d$ is measured in feet. Kerry wants her stopping distance not to exceed 240 $\mathrm{ft}$ . At what range of speeds can she travel?

The stopping distance d of a car after the brakes have been applied varies directly as the square of the speed r. If a car traveling 70 mph can stop in 350 ft, how fast can a car travel and still stop in 126 ft?

The stopping distance of a car, taking into account an average reaction time, can be estimated with the formula $d=0.05 v 2+1.5,$ where $d$ is in feet and $v$ is the speed in miles per hour. For each problem, calculate the stopping distance of a car traveling at the given speeds. 100 miles per hour
