How far does the spacecraft travel until it comes to a momentary halt?

A spacecraft is traveling with a velocity of +3250 m/s. Suddenly the retrorockets are fired, and the spacecraft begins to slow down with an acceleration whose magnitude is 10.0 m/s2. How far does the spacecraft travel until it comes to a momentary halt?|||v = (-10.0) * t + 3250


find out when t = 0


Then use


s = 陆 * (-10.0) * t^2 + 3250 t


to find "s"
