A car is traveling at a speed of 80 ft/s when the brakes are suddenly applied, causing a constant deceleration of 10 ft/s2. Determine the time required to stop the car and the distance traveled before stopping.
t = 8 s, s = 800 ft
t = 8 s, s = 320 ft
t = 4 s, s = 240 ft
t = 4 s, s = 40 ft

v^2 - u^2 = 2as.
v = 0, u = 80, a = -10.

=> s = 320.
