W h e n the brakes of a car are fully applied the car will continue to travel some distance before
it completely stops. This stopping distance, d, in metres is directly proportional to the square
of the speed of the car, v, in kilometres per hour (kmh??).
W h e na caris travelling at a speed of 50kmh?" it will travel 12.3m after the brakes a r e fully
applied before it completely stops.

The police can use this equation to estimate if cars are exceeding the speed limit.
A c a r is found to have travelled 33 m , after fully applying its brakes, before it completely stopped.
(b) U s e your equation from part (a) to estimate the speed at which this car w a s travelling 21

In a baseball game, Sakura is the batter standing beside home plate. Theball is thrown
towards home plate along a path that can be modelled by the following function
y = - 0 . 0 4 5 x + 2.
In this model, x is the horizontal distance of the ball from the point the ball is thrown and y is
the vertical height of the ball above the ground. Both measured in metres.
The outcome of the throw is called a strike if the height of the ball is between 0.53 m
and 1.24m at some point while it travels over home plate. The length of home plate is 0 . 4 3 m .
