1. A drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the brakes to slow down. The driver begins slowing down when t-9s and the car's velocity a 28 m/s. When t-12s, the velocity has been reduced to 13m/s. You may assume that the velocity decreased steadily. The question we would like to answer is: how for did the car travel during this time period? To do this, we will break the question into parts. a Does this problem indicate constant acceleration? If so, we may use kinematic equations to find the distance traveled given an initial velocity and acceleration. b. To find the distance traveled, we will need to know the acceleration during the times period. Which kinematic equation can we use to find the acceleration? Should acceleration be positive or negative? c. Using the result from part b, we can find the distance traveled. Which kinematic equation will be useful for finding distance given a constant acceleration? Now answer: what is the distance traveled in this time period? 1.
