\r\n" );
document.write( "The time of accelerating (which is deceleration, actually), is the difference of speeds \r\n" );
document.write( "divided by the deceleration value\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    t =  = 1.558823529 seconds.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The distance traveled by the motorboat during this time is the average speed times time 't'\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    distance =  = 6.313235294 meters.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Rounding, you get the ASNSWER:  the distance is about 6.31 meters.\r\n" );
