1.6. A vehicle takes 35 m to stop in an emergency from an initial speed of 63 km/h. One- fifth of the time elapses with the vehicle running at constant velocity before the driver reacts to the situation. Assuming constant deceleration when the brakes are applied, calculate (a) the reaction time, and (b) the distance covered during this time.

My pug/bulldog mix, Georgia, who is blind and deaf, gets a whiff of her dinner. As soon as it registers to her that it's dinnertime, she runs 4.12 meters from the middle of our living room to our kitchen, where she is satiated with her grub. If it takes her 4.45 s to get to the kitchen, what was her speed in m/s to the nearest hundredth?
