    A car dropped from the 11th floor of a building would reach a speed of 80.7 ft/s when hitting the ground, as each floor is 12 ft higher. The position of a particle is given by the equation s = (1.5t^3 - 13.5t^2 + 22.5t) ft, and at t = 6 s the position is found and total distance traveled calculated by plotting. For a sober driver reacting in 0.75 s at 30 mph, the shortest stopping distance is 132 ft, but for an impaired driver taking 3 s to react it is 264 ft.

    Prob 12-3 From approximately what floor of a building must a car be dropped from an atrest position so that it reaches

    a speed of 80.7 ft/s (55 mi/h) when it hits the ground? Each floor is 12 ft higher than the one below it. (Note: You may want to remember this when traveling 55 mi/h.) ! ! !

    Prob 12-10 The position of a particle along a straight line is given by s = (1.5t3 - 13.5t2 + 22.5t) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine the position of the particle when t = 6 s and the total distance it travels during the 6-s time interval. Hint: Plot the path to determine the total distance traveled. ! !

    Prob 12-13 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 dont drive! !
