Randall D. Knight — Kinematics in One Dimension: Problem Problem_49

You’re driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s². a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?
