Lisa asks…11th grade physics question?Suppose a car is traveling at 20.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.530 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 7.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
i know u use d=vit+1/2at^2 but i get 11.5Nancy answers:The car travels 0.53 s * 20 m/s ~ 10.6 meters before the brakes are applied. We might
