Question

A space satellite travelling at 7500 m/s re-enters the earth's atmosphere where its velocity is reduced by a steadily increasing atmospheric resistance. If $s(t) = 7500t - \frac{1}{9}t^3$ (in metres), and $t$ denotes elapsed time in seconds, find the following: the stopping distance. Include the proper units and leave no spaces!

Name: A space satellite travelling at 7500 m/s re-enters the earth's atmosphere where its velocity is reduced by a steadily increasing atmospheric resistance. If s(t) = 7500t - (1)/(9)t^3 (in metres), and t denotes elapsed time in seconds, find the following: the stopping distance. Include the proper units and leave no spaces!
