Question: A car going at 2 7 mph ( which is equal to 1 2 . 1 m / s 1 2 . 1 m /

A car going at 27 mph (which is equal to 12.1m/s12.1m/s) comes to a sudden stop, slowing down at 9.81 m/s2m/s2(enough to "throw you forward" at g-force of 1g1g).
Hint
How far does the car move forward before eventually coming to a stop?
The car moves forward meters.
Suppose that the car was going at twice the speed. How far does the car move forward now before eventually coming to a stop, if the magnitude of acceleration is still the same?
If the car was moving at twice the speed, it now moves forward meters.
