To stop a car, first you require a certain reaction time to begin braking, then the car slows under the constant braking deceleration. Suppose that the total distance moved by your car during these two phases is 56.7 m when its initial Speed is 80.5 km//h and 24.4 m when its initial speed in 48.3 km//h.

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.

An observer having a gun observes a remotely controlled balloon. When he first noticed the balloon, it was at an altitude of 800m and moving vertically upward at a constant velocity of 5m//s . The horizontal displacement of balloon from the observer is 1600m . Shells fired from the gun have an initial velocity of 400 m//s at a fixed angle theta ( sin theta =3//5 and cos theta =4//5 ) . The observer having gun waits ( for some time after observing the balloon ) and fires so as to destroy the balloon. Assume g=10m//s^(2) . Neglect air resistance. The flight time of the shell before it strikes the balloon is
