Answer:

4.17 m/s²

Explanation:

We are told the reaction time is 0.2 s. Now, during this reaction time the car is going to travel an additional distance of : x = u × t = 40 × 0.2 = 8 m

where u is the initial velocity of the car which is 40.0 m/s.

We are told that he had 200 m to stop before applying brakes. Thus, after applying brakes, he now has a distance to cover of; s = 200 - 8 = 192 m

Since vehicle is coming to rest acceleration would be negative, thus using Newton's equation of motion, we have;

v ² = u² - 2as

v = 0 m/s since it's coming to rest

u = 40 m/s

s = 192 m

Thus;

0² = 40² - 2(a)(192)

0² = 1600 - 384a

a = 1600/384

a = 4.17 m/s²
