A car is travelling on a straight, level road when the driver perceives a hazard ahead, After a reaction time of 0.5 s, he applies the brakes, locking the wheels. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is flk = 0.6. Determine the total distance the car travels before coming to rest, including the distance travelled before the brakes are applied, if it is travelling at 65 mi/hr.
