Homework Statement
A cyclist is traveling with a speed of 11.0 m/s when she applies the brakes. After slowing for 2.5s, her speed has been reduced to 3.0 m/s. If she continues braking, how much longer will it take her to stop?
I found the deceleration to be -3.2 m/s^2
V1 = 3.0 m/s
V2 = 0
2. The attempt at a solution
I used the equation V2 = V1 + (a)(t) and got the change in time to be 0.9375s
Does this seem like the correct way to solve this?
