Bill is an engineer who works for the Ohio Turnpike. He assesses safety aspects of the roadway and makes purchase decisions for equipment. The speed limit on the turnpike is 70 mph. Today, Bill is calculating safe stopping distances. When a driver performs an emergency braking maneuver, both the driver’s reaction time and the deceleration of the car (once the driver hits the brakes), affects total stopping distance. Usually, the driver’s reaction time is assumed to be one second.

How many feet does a vehicle doing 70 mph travel during the one second reaction time? There are 5280 feet in one mile.
