Acar is moving at 30 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. it decelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/sec2 until it stops. if t = 0 represents the time at which the brakes are applied, how far will it go before stopping?

The distance traveled by car before stopping is

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed of car

Final speed of the car

Acceleration of the car

Let distance traveled before stopping be s

Using equation of motion

=>

=>

Thus the distance traveled by car before stopping is

the displacement produced by the body.  

the amount of force subjected to the body.  

the angle between the direction of force and displacement
