6. A driver travelling at 50 miles/hr sees a wall at a certain distance ahead. The driver applies the brakes immediately (perception time is 3 seconds) and begins slowing the vehicle at 6 m/s. If the distance from the stopping point to the wall is 12 meters, how far was the car from the wall upon perception?
