1) A car traveling at 60 m/s takes 4.0 seconds to react and decelerate at -5.0 m/s^2 until stopping. The normal stopping distance is 80 m.
2) For a drunk driver reacting in 6.0 seconds and decelerating at -5.0 m/s^2, the stopping distance is 120 m.
3) Kinematic equations are used to determine the stopping distance from the initial velocity, deceleration, and reaction time.
