Calculate the acceleration and distance of a body moving with 5 m/s which comes to rest after travelling for 6 seconds.

alright.
given to us is:
v = 0m/s
u = 5 m/s
t= 6 s.
a =?
s =?

by velcity-time relation
v = u+at
0 = 5 + 6a
-5 = 6a
a= -5/6 m/s2

by third equation

2as = v2 - u2
-5/3s = 0 -25
-5/3s = -25
s = -25 x 3/-5
s= 15m
