*your question doesn't really make sense... but if you mean what does the following distance when driving means... it is 2 seconds (at least) behind the car you are following. when the car in front of you passes a post etc count and see if it takes you at least 2 seconds to pass the same object at the same point of your car... hope that helps :)
Points: (1, -2) and (1, -5) Distance: 3 units by using the distance formula
distance = speed x time 10 x 3 = 30 meters
The distance is 3.
There is a distance of 3 between -3 and 0.
To get the speed in such cases, divide the distance by the time. In this case, the answer will be in meters per second.
The technique used for determining the proper following distance is the "3- second" rule.
6-8 second
3
6-8 seconds
have time to react and avoid a collision.
Yes, using either the 2-second rule or the 3-second rule means that as your driving speed increases, you leave more distance between you and the car ahead of you.
6-8 seconds
3 sec
speed = distance/time = 3/2.4 = 1.25 distance units/second
3 Seconds
The 3 second rule (sometimes it's a 2 second rule) refers to the spacing a vehicle should maintain when following another vehicle, regardless of speed. The theory is that the faster the vehicles are traveling, the greater the margin of safety (spacing or distance) between the vehicles will be.
The second distance is greater.
