13. A driver is driving along a road at 30 m/s. The driver suddenly sees a large truck parked across the road and
reacts to the situation by applying the brakes so that a constant braking force stops the car. The reaction time of
the driver is 0.67 seconds, it then takes another 5 seconds for the brakes to bring the car to rest.

Using the data above, draw a speed-time graph to show the speed of the car from the instant the truck was
seen by the driver until the car stopped.

Calculate the acceleration of the car


whilst the brakes are applied.
