Answer:

67.8 m.

Explanation:

For 0.3 sec which is the response time , he will keep on moving with velocity

undiminished or at 26 m/s .

Distance travelled during this period

= 26 x .3 =7.8 m

For rest of the time ie during 4 - .3 = 3.7 s , he decelerates with deceleration of 5.3 ms⁻²  and initial velocity of 26 m/s

s = u t - 1/2 a t²

s = 26 x 3.7 - .5 x 5.3 x 3.7 x 3.7

= 96.2 - 36.28

= 60 m approx.

Total distance travelled

=60 + 7.8 = 67.8 m.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

16.2 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 525 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.00 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

525 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.00 m/s²) t²

t = 16.2 s
