Question 16 of 30
16. Question
A vehicle in Little Rock, Arkansas, is traveling at a speed of \( 60 \, \text{mph} \) when the driver sees a stop sign and begins to decelerate at a rate of \( 15 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \). What is the stopping distance of the vehicle from the point where the driver starts to brake?
Correct
To determine the stopping distance of a vehicle, we can use the formula for stopping distance, which is given by: $$ d = \frac{v^2}{2a} $$ where: – \( d \) is the stopping distance, – \( v \) is the initial speed of the vehicle, – \( a \) is the deceleration (negative acceleration). In this scenario, we need to calculate the stopping distance for a vehicle traveling at a speed of \( 60 \, \text{mph} \) (which we convert to feet per second for our calculations) and decelerating at a rate of \( 15 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \). First, we convert the speed from miles per hour to feet per second: $$ 60 \, \text{mph} = 60 \times \frac{5280 \, \text{ft}}{1 \, \text{mile}} \times \frac{1 \, \text{hour}}{3600 \, \text{s}} = 88 \, \text{ft/s} $$ Now, substituting \( v = 88 \, \text{ft/s} \) and \( a = 15 \, \text{ft/s}^2 \) into the stopping distance formula: $$ d = \frac{(88)^2}{2 \times 15} = \frac{7744}{30} \approx 258.13 \, \text{ft} $$ Thus, the stopping distance for the vehicle is approximately \( 258.13 \, \text{ft} \).
