Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
t = LD/Vb
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Break Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.
Lag Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Lag distance is defined as the distance travelled by the vehicle before applying the break and after seeing the object.
Speed of Slow moving vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Lag Distance: 27.7 Meter --> 27.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Speed of Slow moving vehicle: 11.11 Meter per Second --> 11.11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
t = LD/Vb --> 27.7/11.11
Evaluating ... ...
t = 2.49324932493249
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.49324932493249 Second --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
2.49324932493249 2.493249 Second <-- Break Reaction Time
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

4 Lag Distance Calculators

Velocity of Vehicle given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance
Go Speed of Slow moving vehicle = Lag Distance/Break Reaction Time
Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance
Go Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity
Go Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time
Lag Distance or Reaction Distance given Stopping Sight Distance
Go Lag Distance = Stopping Sight Distance-Breaking Distance

Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance Formula

Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
t = LD/Vb

What is reaction time?

Reaction time is that time in which a driver realizes that he should apply brakes and he does it. After application of the brakes anyhow due to the deceleration of the car it stops at the signal. It is to be assumed that the deceleration is constant and reaction time is constant.

How to Calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance?

Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance calculator uses Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle to calculate the Break Reaction Time, Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance formula is defined as time taken to apply brake by driver after seeing object. Break Reaction Time is denoted by t symbol.

How to calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance, enter Lag Distance (LD) & Speed of Slow moving vehicle (Vb) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.493249 = 27.7/11.11.

FAQ

What is Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance?
Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance formula is defined as time taken to apply brake by driver after seeing object and is represented as t = LD/Vb or Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle. Lag distance is defined as the distance travelled by the vehicle before applying the break and after seeing the object & Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
How to calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance?
Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance formula is defined as time taken to apply brake by driver after seeing object is calculated using Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle. To calculate Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance, you need Lag Distance (LD) & Speed of Slow moving vehicle (Vb). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Lag Distance & Speed of Slow moving vehicle and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
