Alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times. In a controlled government test, it takes a certain driver 0.320 s to hit the brakes in a crisis when unimpaired and 1.00 s when drunk. The car is initially traveling at 110.0 km/h. 1) How much farther does the car travel before coming to a stop when the person is drunk compared to sober

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\triangle d=21.726m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Unimpaired time to hit break [tex]t_i=0.320s[/tex]

Drunk time [tex]t=1s[/tex]

Initial Velocity [tex]v=110km/h[/tex]

Generally the equation for Average velocity is mathematically given by

[tex]V_{avg}=\frac{\triangle d}{\triangle t}[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]\triangle d=v.dt[/tex]

[tex]\triangle d=31.95*(1-0.32)[/tex]

[tex]\triangle d=21.726m[/tex]
