The distance required to stop an automobile consists of both thinking and braking components, each of which is a function of its speed. The following experimental data was  collected to quantify this relationship. Develop best-fit equa­tions for both the thinking and braking components. Use these equations to estimate the total stopping distance for a car traveling at 110 km/h.
