Reaction Time Given Overtaking Distance and Vehicle Speed Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Reaction Time = Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle/Vehicle Speed
t_reaction = d₁/V_speed
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Reaction Time is the time taken by a driver to react to a situation and apply the brakes, affecting the total stopping distance of a vehicle.
Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle - (Measured in Meter) - Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle is the distance traveled by the overtaking vehicle during the time the passing vehicle occupies the gap in sight distance.
Vehicle Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Vehicle Speed is the rate at which a vehicle travels and is used to calculate the distance a vehicle can travel before stopping.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance Traveled by Overtaking Vehicle: 68.8 Meter --> 68.8 Meter No Conversion Required
Vehicle Speed: 6.88 Meter per Second --> 6.88 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_reaction = d₁/V_speed --> 68.8/6.88

Evaluating ... ...

t_reaction = 10

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

10 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

10 Second <-- Reaction Time

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
