On flat ground, a driver takes 0.6 seconds to react to something signalling him to stop. When the driver hits the brakes, the car decelerates at 6 2/3 ms-2.
The driver is now driving down a long slope at 10 degrees to the horizontal. When a beam of light is flashed on him, he immediately steps on the brake (of course, he takes 0.6s to react). How long is the distance traveled before the car comes to a complete stop?
Should I resolve the acceleration due to gravity down the slope?
