Conservation of Energy

In physics, the rule of the conservation of energy states that energy doesn’t disappear from the atmosphere; instead, it changes its form from one type to another. Energy is one of the most important physical quantities in nature, and it cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed.

Question

If no brakes are used immediately, an automobile with a starting velocity of 30 mph or 44 feet/s will collide with a person. If the driver is inebriated, he or she will be able to respond to the situation in three seconds. If the driver is not intoxicated, he or she can react for about 0.75 seconds. Determine the shortest stopping distance required for the driver (intoxicated, under influence of alcohol) to break on time if the automobile accelerates at -2 feet/s2.
