Science Physics
An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first sees the car, the locomotive is 320 m from the crossing and its speed is 16 m/s.
If the engineer’s reaction time is 0.64 s, what should be the magnitude of the mini- mum deceleration to avoid an accident?
