Car B is traveling a distance d ahead of car A, Both
cars are traveling at 60 ft/s when the driver of B
suddenly applies the brakes, causing his car to
decelerate at 12 ft/s?. It takes the driver of car A
Part A
0.75 s to react (this is the normal reaction time for
drivers). When he applies his brakes, he decelerates at
20 ft/s?. (Figure 1)
Determine the minimum distance d between the cars so as to avoid a collision.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
