Final answer:

The answer explains how to calculate the distance a car travels before brakes are applied when a hazard is spotted.


Explanation:

To determine the distance a car travels before brakes are applied with a 1.5 s reaction time:

  1. Calculate the distance traveled during reaction time: 26 m/s * 1.5 s = 39 m
  2. Subtract this from the initial distance to find the braking distance: 85 m - 39 m = 46 m

Therefore, the car travels 46 meters before the brakes are even applied after spotting a hazard.
