A car of mass 1000 kg is moving along a straight, flat road at a constant speed of 20 m/s. Suddenly, the driver applies the brakes, causing the car to decelerate uniformly at a rate of 5 m/s^2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.4.

A) What is the net force acting on the car while it is moving at a constant speed?

B) What is the force exerted by the brakes on the car when it is decelerating?

C) What is the normal force exerted on the car by the road?

D) What is the frictional force acting on the car when it is decelerating?

E) What is the distance traveled by the car before it comes to a complete stop?

F) What is the time required for the car to come to a complete stop?
