Homework Help: physics

Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, October 21, 2007 at 9:28pm.

A driver of a 7.50 N car passes a sign stating "Bridge Out 30 Meters Ahead." She slams on the brakes, coming to a stop in 10.0 s. How much work must be done by the brakes on the car if it is to stop just in time? Neglect the weight of the driver, and assume that the negative acceleration of the car caused by the braking is constant.

I don't think I did it correctly, but here is my work...
(7.50x10^3N)(30m)=2.25x10^5J
