Question

A car initially going 61 ft/sec brakes at a constant rate (constant negative acceleration), coming to a stop in 7 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

See the attachment below for the graphics in part (a)

The initial velocity for this time interval is u = 61ft/sec and the final velocity is 0m/s because the car comes to a stop.

This a constant acceleration motion considering the given time interview over which the brakes are applied. So the equals for constant acceleration motion apply here.
