The brakes of a car are applied when it is moving at 90 km/h and provide a constant deceleration of 12 meters per second per second (m/s²). How far does the car travel before coming to a stop? The car travels meters. (Type an integer or decimal. Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Step 1
The conversion factor is \( \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ h}}{3600 \text{ s}} \). \[ 90 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{1 \text{ km}} \times \frac{1 \text{ h}}{3600 \text{ s}} = 90 \times \frac{1000}{3600} \text{ m/s} = 25 Show more…
