Equations of motion — practice question

A car moves with constant velocity. When $t = 0$, the driver notices an obstacle in the road and then applies the brakes until the car comes to rest. The graph shows how the car’s velocity varies with $t$. What distance does the car cover in the $5.0\ \text{s}$ after the driver notices the obstacle?

  • A$16\ \text{m}$
  • B$42\ \text{m}$
  • C$58\ \text{m}$
  • D$84\ \text{m}$
