A car is travelling at 30.0 m s'' when the driver needs to stop suddenly. If the driver takes 0.250 s (the reaction time) to apply the brakes, and the maximum deceleration of the car is 8.00 m s. a) Determine the distance travelled before the driver applies the brakes, (the reaction distance). b) Determine the braking distance (the distance travelled after applying the brakes). c) Determine the total stopping distance.
