Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time
LD = Vb*t
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Lag Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Lag distance is defined as the distance travelled by the vehicle before applying the break and after seeing the object.
Speed of Slow moving vehicle - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken.
Break Reaction Time - (Measured in Second) - Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Speed of Slow moving vehicle: 11.11 Meter per Second --> 11.11 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Break Reaction Time: 2.5 Second --> 2.5 Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
LD = Vb*t --> 11.11*2.5
Evaluating ... ...
LD = 27.775
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
27.775 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
27.775 Meter <-- Lag Distance
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

4 Lag Distance Calculators

Velocity of Vehicle given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance
Go Speed of Slow moving vehicle = Lag Distance/Break Reaction Time
Reaction Time given Lag Distance or Reaction Distance
Go Break Reaction Time = Lag Distance/Speed of Slow moving vehicle
Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity
Go Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time
Lag Distance or Reaction Distance given Stopping Sight Distance
Go Lag Distance = Stopping Sight Distance-Breaking Distance

Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity Formula

Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time
LD = Vb*t

What is lag distance?

The lagging distance is the distance that is moved by the vehicle in a time period 't' at a velocity of 'v' in kmph, before applying the brake.

How to Calculate Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity?

Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity calculator uses Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time to calculate the Lag Distance, The Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity is defined as the distance that is moved by the vehicle in a time period 't' at a velocity of 'v' in kmph. Lag Distance is denoted by LD symbol.

How to calculate Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity, enter Speed of Slow moving vehicle (Vb) & Break Reaction Time (t) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity calculation can be explained with given input values -> 27.775 = 11.11*2.5.

FAQ

What is Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity?
The Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity is defined as the distance that is moved by the vehicle in a time period 't' at a velocity of 'v' in kmph and is represented as LD = Vb*t or Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time. Speed of Slow moving vehicle is the speed of vehicle which has to be overtaken & Break Reaction Time is defined as time taken by the driver to apply the break.
How to calculate Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity?
The Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity is defined as the distance that is moved by the vehicle in a time period 't' at a velocity of 'v' in kmph is calculated using Lag Distance = Speed of Slow moving vehicle*Break Reaction Time. To calculate Lag Distance or Reaction Distance for Velocity, you need Speed of Slow moving vehicle (Vb) & Break Reaction Time (t). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Speed of Slow moving vehicle & Break Reaction Time and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Lag Distance?
In this formula, Lag Distance uses Speed of Slow moving vehicle & Break Reaction Time. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
