- A car is traveling at a speed of 30 m/s, a typical highway speed, on wet pavement. The driver sees an obstacle ahead and decides to stop. From this instant, it takes him 0.75 s to begin applying the brakes. Once the brakes are applied, the car experiences an acceleration of -6.0 m/s2.

This causes a constant deceleration (a negative acceleration) of k m/s2. It takes the bus 5 seconds to stop. How far does the bus travel before coming to a stop? Steps in solution: Let t= 0 at the moment the bus driver slams on the breaks. Let v (t) be the velocity of the bus at time t (measured in m/s). Let s (t) be the position of the bus at time t (measured in meters), and let's choose s (0) = 0. a) Find v (0) in m/s. [Select] b) What does "a constant deceleration (a negative acceleration) of k m/s2" mean? [Select] c) What does "It takes the bus 5 seconds to stop" mean?
