A woman is riding a jet ski at a speed of 26 m/s and notices a seawall straight ahead. the farthest she can lean the craft in order to make a turn is 22 . this situation is like that of a car on a curve that is banked at an angle of 22 . if she tries to make the turn without slowing down, what is the minimum distance from the seawall that she can begin making her turn and still avoid a crash?
