1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Sue, driving at 33 m/s enter a one lane tunnel. She then observes a slow moving van 175 m ahead traveling with velocity 5.40 m/s. Sue applies here brakes but can accelerate at only -2.00m/s^2.
2. Relevant equations
Determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs.
3. The attempt at a solution
