Part 1: A motorist traveling at 17 m per s encounters a deer in the road 48 m ahead. If the maximum acceleration the vehicle's brakes are capable of is -5 m per s2 what is the maximum reaction time of the motorist that will allow her or him to avoid hitting the deer? Answer in units of s. Part 2: If his or her reaction time is 1.29353s, how fast will (s) he be traveling when(s)he reaches the deer? Answer in units of m per s.
