Because its initial velocity after accelerating is 1 m / s, and the flea travels approximately 0.051 m before its velocity decreases to 0. Adding 0.051 m to 0.0005 m should get 0.051 m after rounding. Please check and edit the answer again.arrow_forwardYou leave your house and drive to your friend’s house, where you stay a while.

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. If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30 mph (44 ft/s) and their cars can decelerate at 2 ft/s², determine the shortest stopping distance d for each from the moment they see the pedestrians.
