Assuming that his acceleration was linear (ie. that he slowed down at a perfectly steady rate), then you can say his velocity at any point in those eight seconds was:
21 - t(21 / 8) m/s
To get the distance covered in that time, you can simply take the area under that line between 0 seconds and eight seconds. Because it's linear, this is very easy. You're dealing with a right triangle that is 8 seconds wide and 21 meters per second tall. With a triangle, the area is equal to half it's width times it's height, so the equation is:
d = 21m/s * 8s / 2
∴d = 168m / 2
∴d = 84m.
So he traveled 84 meters in those 8 seconds, and probably scared the bejeebers out of that poor deer.
Average speed = 21/2 m/s , Time =8 s, Distance = 8 x 21/2 = 84m
A lot farther than you'd think. There is no simple answer to this, because of the following questions. Is the driver alert or using a mobile phone? Is the road wet, dusty, muddy, or icy? Is the road concrete or asphalt? What kind of tyres, are they inflated equally, are they inflated enough. Do the brakes work? Is the land flat? How many people are in the car? Is the fuel tank full?
A primary key is the identifier in a table. It cannot contain values that are null, and it has to be unique for every record. For example, a driver's license number could be a primary key in a relational database table. Every driver is assigned to one unique identifier, or driver's license number, and no two driver's license numbers are identical.
A measurement of headphone bass quality, a larger diameter driver will have better bass than a smaller one. The same is true for speakers. A speaker with a 12 inch woofer has better bass than one with a 4 inch woofer.
As a coach driver, knowing the slope (or gradient) of a hill is very important for choosing the correct gear.
488 miles. But it's doubtful that he could actually do that without stops for food, rest, gas, and pits.

(15.3 - 9.6)/2.9 = 5.7/2.9 = 1.966 seconds (rounded)
That depends on the driver's reaction time, the weight of the car, the condition of the brakes, and the composition and condition of the pavement.
The driver suddenly applied the brakes.
The reaction time of a driver is .75 seconds ... or 1 car length for every 10 mph that you are traveling. This can vary depending on things like cell phone usage, radio distraction and more.
The passengers fall forward when the driver applies brakes suddenly because of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When the bus abruptly decelerates, the passengers continue moving forward due to their inertia, causing them to fall forward.
Stopping distances are measured in feet not in seconds. At 40 mph you're traveling 58.7 feet per second. The average driver reaction time is about 3/4 second which equates to 44 feet. After applying the brakes it will take approximately 82 feet to stop the vehicle. The total stopping distance for a car traveling 40 mph will be 126 feet when you include reaction time and actual stopping distance of the vehicle. If you divide 126' x 58.7' which is the distance traveled per second you get 2.14 seconds. This is assuming you're paying attention and have average reaction time while driving.

If a drinking driver is traveling at 70 miles per hour and their pupils take three seconds to return to normal after being temporarily blinded by bright headlights, they would have covered a significant distance during that time. In three seconds, at 70 miles per hour, the driver would travel approximately 308 feet. This highlights the dangers of impaired driving, as even a brief moment of reduced visibility can lead to serious consequences.
The driver of a vehicle is responsible for the proper functioning of that vehicle. Even if you did not know the brakes were bad, the accident and all damages are the fault of the driver.
The driver would need to step on the brake pedal when braking a vehicle equipped with anti-lock brakes. FYI, the driver would also need to step on the brake pedal when braking a vehicle that is NOT equipped with anti-lock brakes. Hope this helps.
Assuming that both vehicles were in the center of a straight road, and neither vehicles driver hit the brakes, the closure rate would be 100 mph.
