Reaction and braking contribute different distances - Online practice 2

Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

Educational model only: speed v=15 m/s stays constant for reaction time 0.8 s, then braking has constant deceleration magnitude a=5 m/s^2 to rest. Thinking distance=vt; braking distance=v^2/(2a). Ignore other changes only for this supplied model. Do not test this on a road or treat it as a safe-distance guarantee.
