Explanations & Calculations

• Hello BxJ,
• The answer to this question takes the same procedure described in Q279861.
• In this, the initial speed of the vehicle, the deceleration and the final speed that is zero as it stops are given.
• You can use the same simple equation you used in that question in this as well.
• But you need to remember that when you substitute for the variable you need to use it with a negative sign as it is a deceleration, not an acceleration.
