Mr. Pascual and Mr. Reyes decide to go to Batangas using a car and a motorcycle, respectively. They agree to meet at UST st so that they will start traveling at the same time. However, at the time of their meet-up, Mr. Reyes is late and he said Mr. Pascual that he will catch up. Mr. Pascual then left UST and start to travel at an average speed of 45.5 kph. After 19 minutes, Mr. Reyes arrived at UST and started to travel to batangas at an average speed of 67.81 kph. What is the total distance traveled in kilometers by Mr. Reyes by the time he catch up with Mr. Pascual? NOTE: The reference point will be at UST

As you drive your car along a country road at night, a deer jumps out of the woods and stands in the middle of the road ahead of you. This occurs just as you are passing from a 55-mi/h zone to a 50-mi/h zone. At the 50-mi/h speed-limit sign, you slam on the car’s brakes, causing them to lock up, and skid to a stop inches from the startled deer. As you breathe a sigh of relief, you hear the sound of a police siren. The policeman proceeds to write you a ticket for driving 56 mi/h in 50-mi/h zone. Because of your preparation in physics, you are able to use the 25-m-long skid marks that your car left behind as evidence that you were not speeding. What evidence do you present? You must use work/energy methods to solve this problem!The coefficientsof friction between car tires and dry concrete are (s=1.0, k=0.80).
