Question

After the driver first notices the obstacle, the car moves uniformly for a time interval t1−t0=t before the brakes are applied. Find the distance x1−x0 covered by the car in the time interval before the brakes are applied and after the driver sees the obstacle.

Answer 1

Answer:

V(t1-t0)

Explanation:

Moving 'uniformly' means constant velocity (speed). the formula for constant speed motion is $V = \frac{distance}{time}$ =( change in position/ change in time)

where,

                  V is speed

given in the statement :

change in time = t =  t1-t0

let the constant speed be ' V '

disance = X = X1-X0

applying the above mentioned formula: V = $\frac{X}{t}$

V = X/t

X = Vt

the distance X1-X0 = Vt =V(t1-t0)
