A car is traveling at a speed of 80 km/h when the brakes are suddenly applied, causing a constant deceleration of 3.24 m/s2. Determine the time required to stop the car and the distance traveled before stopping

Answer 1

Vi = 80,000 m/3600 s
a = -3.24

v = Vi + a t
0 = 80/3.6 - 3.24 t

d = Vi t + (1/2) a t^2
= (80/3.6) t - 1.62 t^2
