24. When a situation demands our immediate action, it takes some time before we really respond. Reaction
time is the time a person takes to observe, think and act. For example, if a person is driving and suddenly
a boy appears on the road, then the time elapsed before he slams the brakes
of the car is the reaction time. Reaction time depends on complexity of the situation and on an individual.
You can measure your reaction time by a simple experiment. Take a ruler and ask your friend to drop it
vertically through the gap between your thumb and forefinger as shown in figure. After you catch it, find
the distance d travelled by the ruler. In a particular case, d was found to be 45.0 cm. Estimate reaction time.

distance of a vehicle in terms of v0 and a.
