how is stopping distance calculated?
a reaction distance plus braking distance
b braking distance minus reaction distance
c braking distance divided by reaction distance
d reaction distance multiplied by braking distance

Explanation:

Stopping distance is the total distance a vehicle travels from the moment the driver perceives a hazard until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It consists of two parts: the reaction distance (the distance traveled during the driver's reaction time) and the braking distance (the distance traveled while the brakes are applied). To find the stopping distance, these two distances are added together.

Answer:

A. reaction distance plus braking distance
