Ann is driving down a street at 63 km/h. Suddenly a child runs into the street.
If it takes Ann 0.777 s to react and apply
the brakes, how far will she have moved before
she begins to slow down?
Answer in units of m

s = 13.6 m

Explanation:

Ann is driving at a constant speed. Hence, the formula of uniform motion shall be used here. The formula for the distance traveled during uniform speed motion is given as follows:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by the car before it begins to slow down= ?

v = uniform speed of car = (63 km/h)(1000 m/ 1 km)(1 h/3600 s) = 17.5 m/s

t = time to react before applying brakes = 0.777 s

Therefore, using the values in the equation, we get:

s = (17.5 m/s)(0.777 s)

s = 13.6 m

the only real purpose of sputnik 1 was to beat the us into space. we were getting close to launching a useful satellite, explorer 1 - which launched on january 31, 1958. the ussr had to beat that, so they launched sputnik 1 on october 4, 19
