Sometimes you have to do the problem in two steps: A car moving at 28 m/s comes to a stop in 14 s. Find the distance it covers. Here we see that vo = 28 m/s, v=0 m/s (comes to a stop), and t = 14 s, and they want x. We don't have a formula that relates vo, v, t and x. So: • first use v = Vo + at to find a • then use x = Vot + 1/2 at² to find x
