Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Break Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lag Distance: 27.7 Meter --> 27.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Speed of Slow moving vehicle: 11.11 Meter per Second --> 11.11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = LD/V_b --> 27.7/11.11

Evaluating ... ...

t = 2.49324932493249

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.49324932493249 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.49324932493249 ≈ 2.493249 Second <-- Break Reaction Time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is reaction time?

Reaction time is that time in which a driver realizes that he should apply brakes and he does it. After application of the brakes anyhow due to the deceleration of the car it stops at the signal. It is to be assumed that the deceleration is constant and reaction time is constant.

How to Calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance?

Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance calculator uses Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle to calculate the Break Reaction Time, Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance formula is defined as time taken to apply brake by driver after seeing object. Break Reaction Time is denoted by t symbol.

How to calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance, enter Lag Distance (LD) & Speed of Slow moving vehicle (V_b) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.493249 = 27.7/11.11.

FAQ

What is Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance?
