Answer

Car Model
Driver X
Reaction time 0.25s
Driver Y
Reaction time 0.35s
A (deceleration on hard braking = 6.0m/s2)
Speed = 54km/h
Braking distance
a = 19m
Total stopping distance
b = 22m
Speed = 72km/h
Braking distance
c = 33m
Total stopping distance
d = 39m
B (deceleration on hard braking = 7.5m/s2)
Speed = 54km/h
Breaking distance
e = 15m
Total stopping distance
f = 18m
Speed 72km/h
Braking distance
g = 27m
Total stopping distance
h = 33m

$\text{a}=\frac{0^2-15^2}{2(-6)}=19\text{m}$

So, b = 0.2 × 15 + 19 = 33m

Similarly other can be calculated.

Braking distance: Distance travelled when brakes are applied.

Total stopping distance = Braking distance + distance travelled in reaction time.

Electrostatic potential energy of a system of point charges is defined as the total amount of work done in bringing the different charges to their respective positions from infinitely charge mutual separations. The work is stored in the system of two point charges in the form of electrostatic potential energy U of the system.
