Tracy,
You found an error in my answer key and I appreciate you pointing this
out. the correct answer: D, should read: Both A and C are possible, even
though one or both are not realistic". This was a typo and I wonder why
it hasn't been found earlier. Thanks so much Mary Greer

I win! Unfortunately the student affected by this isn't coming to tutoring today, but still, woohoo! The evil problem of suckitude is explained! Hurray!

Yay! :-) I also am amused it wasn't caught earlier. :-)

Skid marks

I'm still uncomfortable because of the reliance on skid-marks to delineate braking. Overlooking that, Go Team!

The more I reread that problem, the more the stuff about skid marks is total BS, especially when there's so many ways a car can stop without skidding (like if it slams into something really hard at full speed, for instance).

you know, I honestly think about 99% of my stopping involves no skidding whatsoever. that's what having control over your car does for ya! :-)
