Answer:
t = 1.05 s
Explanation:
Given,
The distance between your vehicle and car, 100 ft
The constant speed of your vehicle, u = 95 ft/s
Since, the velocity is constant, a =0
If the car stopped suddenly, time left for you to hit the brake, t = ?
Using the second equation of motion,
S = ut + ½ at²
Substituting the given values in the equation
100 = 95 x t
t = 100/95
= 1.05 s
Hence, the time left for you to hit the brakes and stop before rear ending them, t = 1.05 s
