  1. take t =1s and vo = 89*10^3/3.6*10^3 m/s=24.72

    do = 24.72m/s*1s = 24.72m

    v= @t+vo = -4t+24.72=0 so t to stop = 6.18s

    distance = -1/2*4*(6.18)^2 +24*72*6.18+24.72=101.1m

    You can do the same putting -8 instead of -4


  2. Anybody who makes four posts about subject matter like this is obviously copping out from doing their homework.  

    Forsooth, young 'un.... get a grip and paddle your own canoe.
