Speedy Sue, driving at 35.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.50 m/s. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at −1.90 m/s2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision?

If yes, determine how far into the tunnel and at what time the collision occurs. If no, determine the distance of closest approach between Sue's car and the van. (If no, enter "0" for the time.)

    Frank, driving at 30.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. He then observes a slow-moving van 150.0 meters ahead traveling with speed 1.0 m/s (because it has engine trouble). He applies the brakes immediately to decelerate at a constant rate but still hits the van. From the damage, it is determined that he was traveling at 5.0 m/s when the collision occurred. Determine the magnitude of Frank's deceleration as he applied the brakes.
