When a drag strip vehicle reaches a velocity of 60 m/s, it begins a negative acceleration by releasing a drag chute and applying its brakes.While reducing its velocity back to zero, its acceleration along a straight line path is a constant -7.5 m/s2.What displacement does it undergo during this deceleration period?
