Question
Stopping Distance: Estimate the stopping distance of a vehicle initially traveling at 50 mph (=22.4 m/s) in the + x direction. Assume the driver is paying attention and has a reaction time of 0.5s. and the vehicle accelerates at a=-6.0 m/s. Assume that the vehicle is in ideal working order, on dry pavement and does not slide. Typical reaction times can vary from 0.3s to in excess of 3.0s depending on the state of the driver.Typical acceleration for stopping, range from 5.0 m/s^2 to 8.0 m/s^2.
