A coach driver sees an obstruction and brings the coach to rest.
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| speed of the coach when the obstruction is seen | 22 m/s |
| driver's reaction time | 0.65 s |
| distance travelled after the brakes are applied | 41 m |
Calculate how far the coach travels between the driver seeing the obstruction and the coach coming to rest.
