Answer

Car Model
Driver X
Reaction time 0.25s
Driver Y
Reaction time 0.35s
$A ($deceleration on hard braking $= 6.0m/s^2)$
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 $= 7.5m/s^2)$
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.

Electric field intensity at any point is the strength of the electric field at that point. It is also defined as the force experienced by unit positive charge placed at that point. Electric Field Intensity is a vector quantity. It is denoted by E. When placed within the electric field, the test charge will experience an electric force - either attractive or repulsive.

From Bohr's atomic model, we know that the electrons have well defined energy levels in an isolated atom. But due to interatomic interactions in a crystal, the electrons of the outer shells are forced to have energies different from those in isolated atoms. Each energy level splits into a number of energy levels forming a continuous band. The gap between top of valence band and bottom of the conduction band in which no allowed energy levels for electrons can exist is called energy gap.
