    Question about Newton's laws, solving for distance given slope and speed.

    ok, now i feel like a dunce. gravity is acting on the vehicle, slowing it down at the g constant of 9.8 m/s. i took 25 m/s and divided it by 9.8 m/s, giving me how long it took to stop, 2.55 seconds. i multiplied that by 25 m/s and got 63.77 m rounded up to 64m. thanks

    Question about Newton's laws, solving for distance given slope and speed.

    1. A car coasts (engine off) up a 30 degree grade. If the speed of the car is 25 m/s at the bottom of the grade, what is the distance traveled before it comes to a rest? 2. mostly my class so far has dealt with equations calculating work and force by drawinf free body diagrams and using...
