Question: You're driving down a country road at 25 m/s, when a deer suddenly starts crossing the road. As soon as you react, you hit the brakes to decelerate the car at a rate of 4.20 m/s². If the deer is 77 m ahead of you, do you hit the deer with your car?

Activity: Develop a method for calculating your average reaction time using only a ruler or meter stick, NO STOPWATCH (you will need a partner to help you). Use your reaction time (the time it would take you to hit the brakes once you saw the deer) to solve the physics question listed above, showing your calculations in the Data Analysis section. Write up an individual lab report using the correct format, shown on the next page.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39 m in front of you. Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 12 m/s2 . How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop? What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

A 2000-kg car is traveling at 20 m/s on a horizontal road and the engine suddenly is broken down. The brakes immediately are applied and the car skids to a stop in 4.0 s with a constant acceleration because of kinetic friction. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and road?

A child rides down the road on his bike at a speed 4.3 m/s with a balloon tied to its handle bars. At a time t = 0 s, the balloon comes untied and floats into the air. It accelerates with the vector: a(t) = ( -0.31 m/s2 e(-0.072093 s-1 t ) , 4.71 m/s2 - 0 m/s3 t ) [Note: The acceleration coefficient in the x-direction should be v0?
