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.

To solve the problem, we need to find the total distance traveled by the car after the driver sees the need to apply the brakes. This total distance consists of two parts: the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time and the distance traveled while the car is decelerating. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Convert the speed from km/h to m/s**: \[ \text{Speed} = 54 \text{ km/h} = \frac{54 \times 1000}{3600} \text{ m/s} = 15 \text{ m/s} \] ...

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 .
