A driver travelling at speed 36 kmh^(-1)...

A driver travelling at speed `36 kmh^(-1)` sees the light trun red at the intersection. If his reaction time is 0.6s, and then the car can deaccelerate at `4 ms^(-2)`. Find the stopping distance of the car.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
18.5 m
`Deltat=t-0.6=(0-10)/(-4)=2.5`

Stopping distance `=0.6xx10+1/2xx2.5xx10`
`6+12.5 m=18.5 m`

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.
