Alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times. In a controlled government test, it takes a certain driver 0.320 s to hit the brakes in a crisis when unimpaired and 1.00 s when drunk. When the car is initially traveling at 90km/h, how far does the car travel before coming to a stop when the person is drunk compared to sober?

When the person is drunk the car travels 20.1 meters more than when the person is sober. The distance traveled by car is:

Person drunk: 28.1 m

Person sober: 8 m     

Explanation:

The distance traveled can be found using the following equation:

Where:

v: is the speed = 90 km/h

t: is the time

When the person is sober, the time that takes to hit the brakes is 0.320 s, so we have:

And when the person is drunk, the time is 1.00 s, hence the distance is:

The distance traveled by the car when the person is drunk compared when the person is sober is:

Therefore, when the person is drunk the car travels 20.1 meters more than when the person is sober.
