Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time
LD = V_b*t
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Lag Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Lag distance is defined as the distance travelled by the vehicle before applying the break and after seeing the object.
Speed of Slow moving vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
Break Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Speed of Slow moving vehicle: 11.11 Meter per Second --> 11.11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Break Reaction Time: 2.5 Second --> 2.5 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

LD = V_b*t --> 11.11*2.5

Evaluating ... ...

LD = 27.775

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

27.775 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

27.775 Meter <-- Lag Distance

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
