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

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..
