1. Mr. Cousins has 100/300 bodily injury insurance. He was in an auto accident caused by his negligence. Five people were injured in the accident. They sued in court and were awarded money. One person was awarded $150,000, and each of the other two was awarded $95,000. How much will the insurance company pay for these lawsuits?

100/300 bodily insurance is $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident.

Of the people with injuries: 1 had $150,000 in injuries.

$150,000 > $100,000, so insurance will pay $100,000.

2 people had < $100,000, so insurance will pay $95,000 each.

Add: ____________ + ____________ + ____________ = ____________

$290,000 < $300,000, so the insurance company will pay ____________ of these lawsuits.

1. Mark was traveling at 40 mph on a road with a drag factor of 0.85. His brakes were working at 80% e,ciency. To the nearest tenth of a foot, what would you expect the average length of the skid marks to be if he applied his brakes in order to come to an immediate stop?

S = 30Dfn

D = 50 feet; f = 1.1; n = 0.85

S " 30( ( ( ) ) )

Exercises

3. A car is traveling at 52 mph before it enters into a skid. The drag factor of the road surface is 0.86, and the braking e,ciency is 88%. How long might the average skid mark be to the nearest tenth of a foot?

4. Arami’s car left three skid marks on the road after she slammed her foot on the brake pedal to make an emergency stop. The police measured them to be 45 feet, 40 feet, and 44 feet. What skid distance will be used when calculating the skid speed formula?

5. Andrea was traveling down a road at 45 mph when she was forced to immediately apply her brakes in order to come to a complete stop. Her car left two skid marks that averaged 60 feet in length with a di-erence of 6 feet between them. Her brakes were operating at 90% e,ciency at the time of the incident. What was the possible drag factor of this road surface? What were the lengths of each skid mark?

6. The measure of the middle ordinate of a yaw mark is 7 feet. The radius of the arc is determined to be 64 feet. What was the length of the chord used in this situation? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a foot.

7. Russell was driving on a gravel road that had a 20 mph speed limit posted. A car ahead of him pulled out from a parking lot causing Russell to immediately apply the brakes. His tires left two skid marks of lengths 60 feet and 62 feet. The road had a drag factor of 0.47. His brakes were operating at 95% e,ciency. The police gave Russell a ticket for speeding. Russell insisted that he was driving under the limit. Who is correct (the police or Russell)? Explain.
