Question

a bus traveling at 60m/s brakes and accelerates to a stop at a rate of -6m/s^2. how far did it travel while it stopped?

Answer 1

300 m

Step-by-step explanation:

using constant acceleration equations:

v = vi + a * t, v = final velocity = 0m/s , vi = initial velocity = 60m/s,

a = acceleration = -6m/s², t = time

solve t

t = 10s

x = vi * t + .5 * a * t²

plug

x = 300 m
