Sharon asks…Suppose a car is traveling at 15.5 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.510 s has?elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 6.20 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?Nancy answers:Using kinematic equations"
X = Vot + 0.5 at^2
remember a is negative
x=122 metersJohn asks…How do I solve this physics question?Using the maximum
