A bus is moving at a speed of 20m/s beyond to slow at a constant rate of 3m/s each second find how far it goes before stopping

a = -3 m/s^2

v = Vi + a t

at stop
0 = 20 - 3 t
t = 20/3 (they should have started at 21 m/s)

d = Vi t + (1/2) a t^2

d = 20 (20/3) - 3/2 (20^2/3^2)

= 20^2/3 - 20^2/6

= 20^2/6 = 400/6 = 200/3
or easy way for second half is average speed during stop = 10
10 (20/3) = 200/3
A truck traveling with an initial velocity of 26 m/s begins to slow down. The truck travels for 336 m in the time of 55 s. What is the truck\'s acceleration?
