Problem: Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes about 3 s for a driver having 0.1%% alcohol in his system to do the same Questions 1: if such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 23 ft/s^2, determine the shortest stopping distance d for normal driver from the moment he or she see the pedestrians. Express your answer with the appropriate units. Question 2: Determine the shortest stopping distance d for drunk driver from the moment he or she see the pedestrians. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
