A car is traveling at a constant velocity of 18 m/s (about 45 mph). The driver sees a fallen tree lying across the road and hits the brakes after a delay (reaction time) of 240 ms. (1 ms = 10-3 s.) Calculate the distance the car travels during this 240 ms reaction time period.
Once the brakes are applied, the car slows to a stop with an acceleration of -5.27 m/s2. Calculate the distance the car travels while the brakes are applied
