The distance it takes a truck to stop can be modeled by the function Image description d = stopping distance in feet v = initial velocity in miles per hour f = a constant related to friction When the truck's initial velocity on dry pavement is 40 mph, its stopping distance is 138 ft. Determine the value of f, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

We are required to determine the the value of f, rounded to the nearest hundredth

The value of f, rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.39

Given function:

[tex]d(v) = \frac{2.15 {v}^{2} }{64.4f} [/tex]

Where,

d = stopping distance in feet

v = initial velocity in miles per hour

f = a constant related to friction

When

v = 40 mph

d = 138 ft

f = ?

[tex]d(v) = \frac{2.15 {v}^{2} }{64.4f} [/tex]

[tex]138= \frac{2.15 {(40)}^{2} }{64.4f} [/tex]

138(64.4f) = 2.15(1600)

8,887.2f = 3440

f = 3440 / 8,887.2

f = 0.3870735439733

Approximately to the nearest hundredth f = 0.39

Therefore, the value of f, rounded to the nearest hundredth is 0.39
