Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
Initial speed of the car, u = 40 m/s
Final speed of the car, v = 25 m/s
Time taken, t = 3.5 s
(a) We need to find the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down. It can be calculated using formula as :
The acceleration is in the opposite direction of motion i.e. west.
(b) Let s is the distance the car travel in the 3.5-s time period. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as


s = 113.9 meters
Hence, this is the required solution.
Step-by-step explanation:

The product of
is negative whereas the product of 
-4(4)=-16
3(1/7)=3/7
I think that’s what you are asking...
1/2n + 15 = 9 <== ur equation
1/2n = 9 - 15
1/2n = - 6
n = -6 * 2
n = - 12 <== ur solution
