- Suppose a car is traveling at +20.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.232 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 8.00 m/s?. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light? Number Unitsarrow_forwardA car starts from 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.00 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.00 m/s2to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardA car traveling 56 km/h is 22.0 m from a barrier when the driver slams on the brakes.
