Homework Statement
I'm not sure where to begin with this problem
A car is traveling West at 35mph. 45 feet in front of this car is an intersection , and another car is about to turn in front of the westbound car. Could the car safely complete the left hand turn , or would the westbound car have to come to a complete stop to avoid striking the other vehicle. I have read that 2-3 seconds between cars is an adequate amount of time for reactions , and what if the westbound car just let off the gas. How would I be able to account for a light rain as well?
I'm not exactly sure where to start with this problem , but any assistance would be appreciated.
