The “reaction time” of the average automobile driver is about 0.7 s. (The reaction time, in this context, is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) If an automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 3 m/s2, compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 31 kph. Express your answers in meters.

Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(
The "reaction time" of the average automobile driver is about 0.70 s. (The reaction time is the interval between the perception of a signal to stop and the application of the brakes.) An automobile can slow down with an acceleration of 10.6 ft/s2. 1) Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 15.8 mi/hmi/h (in a school zone). Express your answer in feet. 2) Compute the total distance covered in coming to a stop after a signal is observed from an initial velocity of 57.4 mi/hmi/h. Express your answer in feet.
An object is dropped from rest and takes 2.42 seconds to reach the ground below. From what distance above the ground was it dropped? State this as a positive number and assume it has proper SI Units.

The displacement of a raccoon is measured to be ∆x = 2.13 m ± 0.19 m, and this displacement is measured to have occurred over a time period of ∆t = 6.16 s ± 0.10 s. If the raccoon’s average velocity were computed using these inputs, what would be the relative error of the average velocity? Assume fully uncorrelated errors, and use the error propagation procedure discussed in lecture. Round your answer to 3 digits past the decimal point, like "0.XYZ"
