The conservation of the mass of fluid through two sections (be they A1 and A2) of a conduit (pipe) or current tube establishes that the mass that enters is equal to the mass that exits. Mathematically the input flow must be the same as the output flow,

The definition of flow is given by

Where
V = Velocity
A = Area
The units of the flow of flow are cubic meters per second, that is to say that if there is a continuity, the volume of input must be the same as that of output, what changes if the sections are modified are the proportions of speed.
In this way


We can solve for the acceleration by using a kinematic equation. First we should identify what we know so we can choose the correct equation.
We are given an original velocity of 24 m/s, a final velocity of 0 m/s, and a time of 6 s. We and looking for acceleration (a) in m/s^2.
The following equation has everything we need:

So plug in the known values and solve for a:
0 = 24 + 6a
-24 = 6a
a = -4 m/s^2
Answer:
scientific law is a statement that summarizes a pattern found in nature.
