So you think you can drive?

You are traveling at the 25 mi/hr speed limit and you see a child jump out into the street chasing a puppy 13.0 meters away. Once you hit the brakes it will take 2.1 sec to stop the car. Using your personal reaction time from the ruler test (around 0.20 sec) figure out if you will hit the child and puppy.


You may use your laptop to lookup any conversion factor, ie meters to miles. Hint---There are two calculations here! You may work with a partner, but both people must show their work. I will come around to check.
