Problems for stopping distance 2

Show the given, to find, equations and substitute the correct values with units to solve the following problems.

1. A car comes to a complete stop in 14 meters with an acceleration of-20 m/s2. What was the car’s initial velocity?
(ans: 23.7 m/s)
2. A minivan traveling at 27 m/s comes to a stop in 40 m. What is the acceleration of this change? (ans: -9.1 m/s2)
