 The braking distance of a car depends on its speed as the brakes 

are applied and on the car’s braking efficiency. A formula for the 

braking distance is

bd =s^2/ 2Rg

where bd is the braking distance, s is the car’s speed, R is the braking efficiency and g is 

the acceleration due to gravity (9.81). A script has been written that calls a function to 

prompt the user for s and R, calls another function to calculate the braking distance, and 

calls a third function to print the braking distance in a sentence format with one decimal 

place. You are to write a function stub for the function that prompts for s and R, and the 

actual function definitions for the other two functions.

[s, R] = promptSandR;

brakDist = calcbd(s, R);

printbd(brakDist)

function [s, R] = promptSandR

s = 33;

R = 11;

end

calcbd.m

function bd = calcbd(s, R)

bd = s .^ 2 / (2*R*9.81);

end
