The required stopping distance of the car is 17.24 metes.

A child appears to be running into the street ahead. It takes 2.3 seconds for the driver to react and begin to brake, but this time at a rate of -7.5 m/s2. What is the stopping distance for the car in this situation is to be determined.

What is speed?

Speed is ratio of distance to the time. speed = distance / time.

The intial speed of the driver is 11m/s

Now total stopping distance = thinking distance + break applying distance
                                           =  v*t  + u²/2a
                                           =  11 * 2.3 - 11²/2*7.5
                                           = 17.24 meters,

Thus, the required stopping distance of the car is 17.24 metes.
