Hello everybody, I have a small question I need help with.
Draw a sketch graph of the following:
"A car which is traveling at 15 ms-1. At t (time) = 0, the driver sees a pedestrian step out into the road. The driver takes 0.7 seconds to apply the brakes, and the brakes produce an acceleration of -6ms-2, bringing the car to a rest."
Use the stetch graph to calculate the stopping distance.
None.
None. Can somebody give me an example of what the graph would look like and how I would calculate the stopping distance. I take it this would be the displacement, or area under the line on the graph.
Thanks everyone.
