Suddenly you see a deer standing on the highway and you must put on the brakes. Your reaction time (time elapsed between the moment you see the deer and your foot hitting the brakes) is 0.118 s. The brakes provide an acceleration with a magnitude of 4 m/s2, and a direction opposite the initial velocity. How do you find the total distance traveled?arrow_forward

A uniform acceleration of 1.25 m/s² was achieved as the train slowed down so that the final speed of the train is 20 km/h after traveling a distance of 35 m. (a) What was the speed of the train at the beginning of this distance? (b) How long did it take for the train to travel the 35 m? (c) Include a completearrow_forward
- A special racing car starts from rest and accelerates in a straight line with a constant acceleration of 5.8 m/s². After 376 metres, it deploys a parachute which results in a deceleration of kv? where v is the speed of the car in m/s and k is a constant (has a unit of 1/m). If the car's speed slowed down to 37 km/hr 7.5 seconds after the parachute was deployed, determine the constant k and then give your answer to Z = 1000*|k| rounded to two decimal places. Note that |k| means the absolute value of k.arrow_forwardSolve it correctly.arrow_forward
