Suppose a car is traveling at 17.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.570 s has elapsed (the reaction time), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 9.00 m/s2. What is the stopping distance of the car, as measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light?
