Question

A car travels at 45 km/h. If the driver breaks 0.65 seconds after seeing the traffic light turn yellow, how far will the car continue to travel before it begins to slow?

Answer 1

8.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s.

45 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 12.5 m/s

Distance = speed × time

d = (12.5 m/s) (0.65 s)

d = 8.125 m
