Do we want our students to solve a problem like this?:
A train traveling from New York to Chicago is moving at 110 km/h when the
engineer sees a stalled car near the track ahead. The train brakes to a
halt in 1.2 min with a constant deceleration, stopping just next to the
car. How far was the train from the car when the engineer first applied
the brakes?
