The “reaction time” of the average automobile driver is about 0.700 . (The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) If an automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 12.0 , compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed (a) from an initial velocity of 15.0 (in a school zone) and (b) from an initial velocity of 55.0 .
