Homework Statement A car slows down from 25 to rest in a distance of 75 . What is the acceleration of the car. I've been fiddling with this problem pretty much all night but can't seem to get to a correct answer, help would be apprechiated. Homework Equations x = x0 + v0t + 1/2at^2...

I'm trying to understand the math that leads to the derived equations cause I can't seem to derived them my self. All the videos / tutorials online just show the equation it derived from and then the derived equation it self, I was more interested in the mechanics cause I was told I would have...

yea, 34s. I was supposed to do 150m / 4.4m/s. thanks

A car moving at 187km/h is behind a truck that's moving at 71km/h and is 150m ahead of the car How long will it take the car to catch the truck ? I'm literally in 2 lectures in my physics 101 class but I figure it would be cool to take a shot at the problem. This is what I did...
