Question 47

A bus travels at 16 m/s. Its mass is 6000 kg and the constant braking force is 12000 N. The bus must stop within a distance of 80 m from the point its driver detects a hazard.

a.

Calculate the maximum reaction time that allows the bus to stop within 80 m.

[4]
b.

The braking force is reduced to 6000 N. The speed of the bus is unchanged.

Explain whether the bus can still stop within 80 m.
