A driver takes 0.20 s to apply the brakes after he sees a need for it. This is called the reaction time of the driver. If he ils driving a car at a speed of 54 km/h and the brakes cause a deceleration of `6.0 m/s^2`, find the distance travelled by the car after he sees the need to put the brakes on.

On seeing red light ahead, a driver takes 0.3 s to apply the brakes. This is called the reaction time of the driver. If he was initially driving at a speed of 36km/hr and application of the brakes causes a deceleration of 4.0m//s^(2) . Calculate the distance travelled by the car after he sees the red light.

A driver of car takes -20 s (which is the reaction time of dricer ) to apply the brkes after he sees an obstruction at a distance of 25 m from him . If he is driving car at a speed of 54 km h^(-1) and the brakes cause a deceleration of 6.0 km h^(-2), predict whether he will avert collistion or not.
