1. The \"reaction time\" of the average automobile driver is about0.7s . (The reaction time is the interval between the perception ofa signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) An automobilecan slow down with an acceleration of 10.2ft/s2 .
Part A: Compute the total distance covered incoming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initialvelocity of 15.6mi/h . (in a school zone)
Part B Compute the total distance covered incoming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initialvelocity of 54.0mi/h .
Answers must be in ft.
