Question 33
Easy

An autonomous delivery vehicle is travelling at a constant speed of 26 m/s along a straight horizontal guide-track.

Its sensors detect an unexpected obstacle ahead. There is a processing latency (reaction time) between the sensors detecting the obstacle and the physical brakes being activated, during which the vehicle continues to travel at its constant speed.

The vehicle travels a distance of 11 m during this latency period.

Calculate the vehicle's processing latency.

Give your answer to 2 significant figures.
