Target Area 75. A car moves along a straight road at constant

Slit speed until its brakes are applied. The car then
slows down until it comes to a stop. Three
Beamof \ quantities are measured: the car's mass, the
Particles •• initial velocity of the car, and the time it took to
•
bring the car to a stop. Which of the following
can be calculated from this information?
I. The average deceleration of the car
