2. A car is traveling down a long, straight road at 15 m/s (about 25 mph) when the driver sees an obstacle and brakes to a stop at a rate of 10 m/s² (magnitude). A typical driver has a reaction time of 0.5 s, that is it takes them this long after seeing the obstacle before they apply the brakes. 1. What is the minimum stopping distance for
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.

1. What is the minimum stopping distance for
the above driver?
2. What would be the minimum stopping
distance if the driver is initially traveling at 30
m/s instead of 15 m/s?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F114d112a-89da-40ea-8ec8-a25f26317aff%2Fc28c655e-60f4-48ef-9cc3-ce9a5f27f04a%2F3wnxjv9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
