The average human reaction time is about 200 milliseconds


Question: 1. The average human reaction time is about 200 milliseconds. Use this fact to determine the distance your car will travel along the highway at 70 mph from the instant an event occurs requiring you to hit the brakes and you actually hitting the brakes. State your answer as three distances: one for a good day (150ms), one for an average day (200ms), and one for a bad day (250ms). Perform this again for a standard road at 45 mph and a residential zone at 25 mph. Finally, convert each of these values into a number of car lengths based on the length of your car (3.65m). Discuss the difference in distance traveled between the speeds as well as how important it is to be paying attention at every moment. (Remember, the distance you are finding is the distance traveled from the instant the event occurs until you react by hitting the brakes.) All work must be shown.
