Determine the stopping distances for an automobile going at a constant initial speed of 97 km/h and a human reaction time of 0.30 s, for an acceleration a = -6.3 m/s^2.
Added by Lorenzo O.
Step 1
Given initial speed = 97 km/h 1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s = 5/18 m/s Therefore, initial speed = 97 * 5/18 = 26.94 m/s Show more…

(II) Determine the stopping distances for an automobile going a constant initial speed of 95 km/h and human reaction time of 0.40 s: ($a$) for an acceleration $a = -$3.0 m/s$^2$; ($b$) for $a = -$6.0 m/s$^2$

Stopping Distance. The number of feet that a car travels before stopping depends on the driver's reaction time and the braking distance, as shown in the illustration. For one driver, the stopping distance is given by the polynomial $0.04 v^{2}+0.9 v$ where $v$ is the velocity of the car. Find the stopping distance when the driver is traveling at $30 \mathrm{mph}$.
