This is a physics question that requires a lot of math. hoping on of you genius could me. q: you're driving down the highway late one night at 16m/s when a deer steps onto the road 44m in front of you. your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10m/s2 . how much distance is between you and the deer. i solved this =23m what is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer? the answer is 25 m/s. a lot of people had stated to use the quadratic formula. i just don't know where to begin.
