    I have 3 homework questions that i did, can someone just check for correctness?

    i have all of the following formulas: vf = vi+at d = (vf+vi)/2 x t d = (vi)(t) + 1/2(a)(t)^2 vf^2 = vi^2 + 2(a)(d) 1) Highway safety engineers build soft barriers so that cars hitting them will slow down at a safe rate. A person wearing a safety bel can withstand an acceleration of -300...
