You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If \"how long\" means Time, just divide (-)V / A.
\n" ); document.write( "Keep units to make sure:
\n" ); document.write( "(-20.1 m/s) / (-0.0500 m/(s^2))
\n" ); document.write( "= (20.1/0.0500) sec
\n" ); document.write( "= 402 sec. = 6 Min 42 Sec.
\n" ); document.write( "
