a car traveling at a speed of 30.0 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete stop. how much time will it take for the car to stop if it decelerates at -4.0m/s^2

It will take 7.5 s for the car to stop.

One of the acceleration formulas is 

[tex] v_{f} = v_{i} [/tex] +at, where

[tex] v_{f} [/tex] is the final velocity,
[tex] v_{i} [/tex] is the initial velocity,
a is the acceleration, and
t is the time.

0 = 30.0 m·s⁻¹ + (-4.0 m·s⁻²)t

4.0 s⁻¹ t = 30.0

t = [tex] \frac{30.0}{ 4.0 \text s^{-1}} [/tex]= 7.5 s
