    Q4.

    A car is travelling at 10 m/s.

    The driver sees a danger and stops the car.

    (i) The stopping distance for the car would be smaller if the car
    (1)
    A had more passengers
    B had worn tyres
    C needed new brakes
    D was travelling more slowly

    Figure 4 shows a speed-time graph for the driver stopping the car.

    (ii) Use the graph to find the driver's reaction time.
