A biker is traveling on level ground at 51 0 m s with a combined mass of 341 0 kg She spots a police officer 500 meters up ahead so she applies the brakes reducing her speed by half over a period of 17 0 seconds In meters how far does she travel during this time period Answer m Think to yourself do not enter an answer to this question If she doesn t reach the new lower speed in time she will pass the officer with a speed that s too high certainly getting a ticket In other words if the distance you calculate is above 500 m she doesn t slow down in enough time If the distance you calculate is less than 500 m she reaches the safe speed before she reaches the officer So does she get a ticket
