Answer:
80 m
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question;
Initial velocity, u, = 20m/s
Time = 15 s
deceleration= -2.5 m/s² ------negative acceleration
The formula to apply is;
v²=u²+2as
where v is the final velocity = 0m/s and s is the total distance travelled.
Applying the formula as;
v²=u²+2as
0²=20²+ 2*-2.5*s
0=400+ -5s
0=400-5s
5s= 400
s= 400/5 = 80
s= 80 m
The total distance travelled is 80 m.
