TmanBaller7 asked:
A car and driver weighing 7330 N passes a sign stating “Bridge Out 29.8 m Ahead.” She slams on the brakes, and the car decelerates at a constant rate of 14.9 m/s2 .
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . What is the magnitude of the work done stopping the car if the car just stops in time to avoid diving into the water?
Answer in units of J.
