How far will the car have moved before you begin to slow down?
Amber B asked:
You are driving down the street in a car at 55 km/h. Suddenly a child runs into the street. If it takes you 0.75 s to react and apply the brakes, how far will the car have moved before you begin to slow down?

55 km/h x 0.75 s =
55000 m / 3600 s x 0.75 s =
11 s
