A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.

The typical reaction time for an alert driver is 0.8 s versus 3 s for a sleepy driver. Assuming a typical car length of 5 m, calculate the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver. Group of answer choices

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

lions [1.4K]
The answer is 60 mph.

The speed (v) is distance (d) per time (t): v = d/t

Car A:
v1 = ?
t1 = 2 h
d1 = ?
___
v1 = d1/t1
d1 = v1 * t1

Car B:
v2 = ?
t2 = 1.5 h
d2 = ?
___
v2 = d2/t2
d2 = v2 * t2

<span>Two cars traveled equal distances:
d1 = d2
</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2

<span>Car B traveled 15 mph faster than Car A:
v2 = v1 + 15


</span>v1 * t1 = v2 * t2
v2 = v1 + 15
________
v1 * 2 = (v1 + 15) * 1.5
2v1 = 1.5v1 + 22.5
2v1 - 1.5v1 = 22.5
0.5v1 = 22.5
v1 = 22.5/0.5
v1 = 45 mph


v2 = v1 + 15
v2 = 45 + 15
v2 = 60 mph
