a car is travelig at 20.0 m/s when the driver applies the brakes and comes to a stop. if the car slows down uniformly with an acceleration of -4.20 m/s, about how far does the car travel before coming to a rest

Since acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and ∆x = displacement. Then

0² - (20.0 m/s)² = 2 (-4.20 m/s²) ∆x

⇒   ∆x = (20.0 m/s)² / (8.40 m/s²) ≈ 47.6 m
