A truck travels along a straight, level road at the speed of 100ft/sec. when the driver is forced to apply the breaks to avoid an accident. If the truck undergoes a constant deceleration of 19ft/sec^2, how far does the truck travel before coming to a complete stop?
==================
Time to stop = 100/19 seconds.
Avg speed for the time = (100+0)/2 = 50 ft/sec
distance = (100/19)*50
d = 5000/19 feet
