A minivan is tested for acceleration and braking. In the street-start
acceleration test, the elapsed time is 8.3 s for a velocity increase from 10
km/h to 100 km/h. In the braking test, the distance traveled is 44 m during
braking to a stop from 100 km/h. Assume constant values of acceleration
and deceleration.
Determine the deceleration during the braking test.
The deceleration during the braking test is

They would like to keep the magnitude of acceleration on the drivers to be less than one g.
