Trying to do my first Physics home work assignment for college and I'm not really making any headway. He went thru the martial so fast while throwing in calculus that I'm not sure if I do or don't need.
My main problem with Motion Diagrams is I'm not sure how accurate I'm supposed to be and how do I get that level of accuracy I need?
The problem I'm on bellow, is really getting me because I don't know how to start. Should I show 35 meters of movement and the reaction time before the deceleration?
"The driver of a car traveling at 35 m/s suddenly sees a police car. The driver attempts to reach the speed limit of 25 m/s by accelerating at 2.5 m/s^2. The driver has a reaction time of 0.55 s. (The reaction time is the time between first seeing the police car and pressing the brake.)
I really don't know how I would show a solution on here.
Hope my problem makes sense.
