Question

The “reaction time” of the average automobile driver is about 0.7 s. (The reaction time, in this context, is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) If an automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 8 m/s2, compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 40 kph. Express your answers in meters.

You are driving a car along a straight road at 123 kph. Suddenly, you saw a cat crossing the road and you apply the brakes decelerating the car at a constant rate of -44.5 m/s2. If your reaction time is 1.50 seconds, what is the shortest stopping distance from the moment you see the cat? Illustrate the problem.
You are riding home from a party and the driver is drunk. The car is traveling at 60 mi/hr. Suddenly, a child steps into the road ahead. Since the driver is drunk his reaction time has been slowed by 1s. How far will the car travel before the driver begins to stop? (This is equal to the distance it will take to stop the car because the driver is drunk.)
A car was travelling at a speed of 50 mph (mi/hr). The driver saw a road block 80 meters ahead and stepped on the brake causing the car to decelerate uniformly at 10 m/s2. Find the distance (in m) from the roadblock to the point where the car stopped. Assume perception reaction time is 2 seconds.

It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to react to a situation to avoid a collision. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 45.5 ft/s and their cars can decelerate at 2.64 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d (in feet) from the moment they see the pedestrians. The Correct answer is 528.59. Show solution.
