% Note: 1.47 ft/s = 1 mi/h so 60 ft/s = ~41 MPH

One day President Rawlings is driving along Hanshaw Road towards
Ludgate Farms at 60 feet per second when he spots a deer in the road
300 feet ahead and slams on the brakes. The following table gives the
car's speed at various times. Time is measured in seconds (since he
applied the brakes) and speeds are measured in feet per second.

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l||rrrrr}
Time & 0 & 2 & 4 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline
Speed & 60 & 50 & 30 & 12 & 0 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

\begin{enumerate}
\item Give an estimate for the minimum distance the car will travel after
the brakes are applied. Show your work. State any assumptions you are
making.\\[1.625in]

\item Give an estimate for the maximum distance the car will travel after
the brakes are applied. Show your work. \\[1.625in]

\item If the deer freezes and does not move, will the car hit the deer? Explain.

{\center \bf Part B\\}

If the car was traveling at 60 feet per second when the President
Rawlings saw the deer and the car slowed down at the rate of 8 feet
per second per second, would the car hit the deer? Explain.
