Problem

A car of mass

1200\,\text{kg}

is moving at

18\,\text{m s}^{-1}

. The driver applies the brakes, producing a constant retarding force that brings the car to rest in

3.0\,\text{s}

. Ignoring other resistances, calculate the distance travelled by the car during this time. a)

54\,\text{m}

36\,\text{m}

27\,\text{m}

18\,\text{m}
