2.30 An engineering student is driving on a level roadway and sees a construction sign 500 ft ahead in the middle of the roadway. The student strikes the sign at a speed of 25 mi/h. If the student was traveling at 55 mi/h when the sign was first spotted, what was the student's associated perception/reaction time (use practical stopping distance)?
