me assume kar speed=14.3 meter/sekond

wons yu hit the brakes, kar sloe down at a=-2.8 meter/sek^2

thus, speed=14.3 -2.8t

so take t=14.3/2.8=5.107142857142857... sekonds tu stop

distans kar go =averaej-speed*time=[(14.3)/2] *5.107142857....36.51607 meters

yu sae deer be 65 meters awae wen first see it

So yukan go 65-36.516 meters tu get tu point weer yu gotta hit the brakes

65-36.516=28.484 meters

Latest time tu hit brake=28.484 meters/(14.3 meter/sek)1.992 sekonds

make that 2 seks...ok it yu tuch deer's skin
