The typical BREAKING distance from 50mph is 38meters, but the overall stopping distance is 53meters (overall stopping distance is made up of thinking distance, which is 15meters in this case, + breaking distance)

How do you ensure the reaction between group 1 element with water is stoped?

The reaction is stopped when no hydrogen is released.


Who's at fault if you're stopped at a stop sign and a car rear ends you while stopped at the sign waiting for the right of way?

Without some very unusual circumstances, it's going to be the car that read-ended the stopped car. There are very few good reasons for running in to the back of a stopped car.


What is your reaction about Ozone Depletion?

Ozone depletion is very serious matter. It should be stopped as soon as possible.


Can the chain reaction of nuclear fission be stopped or controlled?

Yes, the chain reaction of nuclear fission can be controlled by using control rods made of materials like boron or cadmium that absorb neutrons, thus regulating the rate of fission. Additionally, cooling systems can also be used to control the temperature and prevent the reactor from overheating.

If a glowstick has stopped glowing can you make it glow again?

No. It's a one-shot chemical reaction, much like striking a match.


Do nuclear isotopes stop decaying when control rods are down?

No, it is not correct; only a nuclear chain reaction can be stopped with control rods.


Why is quick reaction time important?

It depends on what you are doing, but for instance if you were driving a car, a quick reaction time would be important if a car stopped suddenly in front of you. You would want to be able to stop before ramming it.


What is going on in the Japanese nuclear power plants and why can't the just stop the chain reaction?

The chain reaction is stopped, it stopped immediately when the earthquake was detected and all control rods were driven in. The problem now is the decay heat from radioactive isotopes in the fuel, this cannot be stopped but will gradually reduce over time. There should have been cooling from diesel driven pumps, but the diesels were knocked out by the tsunami, and are presumably not operable, probably due to water ingestion but there has been no statement on that as far as I know.
