A student is driving through a mountainous region where the road is at some times flat, at some times inclined upward, and at some time inclined downward. The student maintains a speed of 20 m/s on the roadway, but is required to make an emergency stop on the three sepearte occasions. On levels roadway, it takes 25 m to stop. On a downward-sloping roadway, it takes 40 m to stop. On an upward-sloping roadway, it takes 18 m to stop. Explain why the stopping distances are different. (Focus answer using work and energy, other concepts may be used as well but be sure work and energy are included.)
