Answer

(a) $5.1s$ (b) $8.3m$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required time as $t=\frac{v-v_{\circ}}{a}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{0-3.25m/s}{-0.6375m/s}$ $t=5.1s$ (b) The required distance can be determined as $x=v_{\circ}t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $x=(3.25)(5.098)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.63756)(5.098)^2$ $x=16.5685-8.2850$ $x=8.3m$
