Suppose a car is traveling at +22.6 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.494 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 8.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?

A car is traveling at 60 mph on a 4% downgrade. Then, the driver sees a fallen tree 250 ft ahead. The driver applies the brakes but still crashes into the tree. The skid marks were found to be 100 ft long, and the coefficient of braking was found to equal 0.50. Neglect aerodynamic resistance and compute the following: a) The driver’s perception reaction time. b) The crashing speed of the vehicle.

A motorist is driving at 19.2 m/s when she sees that a traffic light 203 m ahead has just turned red. She knows that this light stays red for 14.5 s, and she wants to reach the light just as it turns green again. It takes her 1.1 s to step on the brakes and begin slowing. What is her speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green?

The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.10 m/s² for 4.25s, making skid marks 62.8 m long. With what speed does the car then strike the tree? The answer to this was 3.94 m/. From here, If the car has the same initial velocity, and if the driver slams on the brakes at the same distance from the tree, then what would the...

A driver on Route 15 is traveling at 50 mph (~22 m/s) when they see a dog in the road ahead. The driver’s reaction time to apply the brakes is 1.5 s. As the driver nears the dog they honk the horn and thankfully the dog runs to safety on the side of the road. The car finally comes to a stop 5 s after applying the brakes and 4 m past where the dog had been standing. How far...
