  10. Total Stopping Distance Perception Distance= the distance you travel while identifying a situation + Reaction Distance= the distance you travel from the time you identify a hazard and decide to brake + Braking Distance= the distance you travel from the time you first apply the brakes to a full stop

  11. Sample table of data collected

  12. What would a graph of braking distance vs. initial speed look like?

  13. Claim and Evidence Claim: An automobile can be moving forward during negative acceleration. Evidence: What evidence can you provide to support this claim?

  14. Practice: Physics to Go #4 An automobile traveling at 10 m/s requires a braking distance of 30 m. If the driver requires 0.9 s reaction time, what additional distance will the automobile travel before stopping? What is the total stopping distance, including both the reaction distance and the braking distance?

  15. What Do You Think Now? What factors must you consider to determine if you will be able to stop in the distance between you and the animal to avoid hitting it?
