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.
