You are driving to the grocery store at 14 m/s. You are 115 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. How far are you from the intersection (in m) when you begin to apply the brakes

111.5 m

Explanation:

Given that You are driving to the grocery store at 14 m/s. You are 115 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. 

Use first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the car is going to rest, V = 0 and a = negative

0 = 14 - a × 0.5

0.5a = 14

a = 14 /0.5

a = 28 m/s^2

Let us use second equation of motion

S = Ut - 1/2at^2

S = 14 × 0.5 - 0.5 × 28 × 0.5^2

S = 7 - 3.5

S = 3.5 m

115 - 3.5 = 111.5

Therefore, you are 111.5 metres from the intersection (in m) when you begin to apply the brakes.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
