The problem involves a car decelerating from a speed of 45 km/h at a constant rate of 0.50 m/s². The original poster seeks to calculate the distance the car coasts before stopping, the time taken to stop, and the distance traveled during specific time intervals.
The discussion is ongoing, with participants seeking clarification on the original poster's calculations. There is an indication of effort to engage with the problem, but no consensus or resolution has been reached yet.
The original poster has not provided specific equations or methods used in their calculations, which may be contributing to the confusion. There is a lack of clarity on the assumptions made regarding the problem setup.
