Final answer:
To determine how long it would take for a truck to stop under adverse conditions, we need to consider the distance covered before hitting the brakes, the braking time, and the total stopping distance.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine how long it would take for a truck to stop under adverse conditions, we need to consider a few factors:
- The distance the driver covers before hitting the brakes
- The time it takes for the truck to stop after hitting the brakes
- The total distance the truck covers to stop
Once we have this information, we can calculate the stopping distance.
