Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. The magnitude of an objects acceleration as described by Newtons Second Law is the combined effect. Dont forget the negative sign in both accelerations.
Thinking distance The distance it takes for a driver to react to a situation and apply the brakes.
Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. V d t where v is the velocity d is the distance and t is the time so you can read it as Speed Distance Time. Now find the total distance traveled. As noted above make sure you convert the units appropriately first or use our speed calculator which does that automatically.
