A car slows down from a speed of 26.0 ms to rest in 6.00 s How far did it travel in that time?

It depends on the rate of deceleration. If the car went 26 m /s for 5.999999999 seconds and then instantly decelerated to a stop, it could have traveled as much as 155.9999999999 meters. If it decelerated instantly and then hung around for 6 more seconds it could have traveleld .00000001 meters or less...
so the answer is, the distance depends on the rate of negative acceleration.

Why do things slow down?
Things can slow down for many reasons. Firstly, if your considering a human being, then humans can slow down because of a lack of energy, or they slow down because they are tired and need to rest. Sometimes humans slow down because they don't want to speed up. Secondly, considering machines. Machines somtimes slow down because their batteries are wasted, or you turn them off. Another reason could ba a machine like a helicopter, it slows down because it needs to land. Thirdly, lots of things slowd own because it's not safe to go faster or even stay at the speed they were at earlier.
When you stop pushing on a box and it slows down is it balanced or unbalanced force?
Unbalanced , because as long as it is moving it is accelerating therefor it is unbalanced . Now if it is at a complete rest then it is not accelerating therefor it would be a balanced force .
Why are alpha and beta radiation not included in electromagnetic spectrum?
alpha and beta radiations do not travel at the speed of light,but gamma rays and the rest of em spectrum rays do.
Is the photon have acceleration?
No. Photons have no rest mass and therefore can never accelerate or decelerate; they always travel at precisely the speed of light in the medium they're passing through.
A car starts from rest and accelerates for 6.4s with an acceleration of 2.6 ms How far does it travel?
Initial speed = 0Final speed = (2.6 x 6.4) = 16.64 m/sAverage speed = 8.32 m/sDistance = (average speed) x (time) = (8.32 x 8.4) = 53.248 meters
A car slows down uniformly from 30.0 meter per seconds to rest in 7.20 seconds how far did it travel while decelerating?
Its average speed was 1/2 of (30 + 0) = 15 meters per second.Distance = (average speed) x (time) = 15 x 7.2 = 108 meters .
Is it possibie to travel at the speed of light?
Nothing with a rest mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, it would take an infinite amount of energy. Light can travel at that speed because it has zero rest mass. Earlier Answer below So far, we don't know if a human can travel at lightspeed. However, it's easier to travel at the speed of light than to travel through time. New Answer: The problem I always had with the term light speed is that speed is relative. We may be traveling close to the speed of light right now in relation to some other object in the universe.
At what speed does radio messages travel through space?
They travel at the same speed as the rest of the electromagnet spectrum. At 186,000 mile or 300,000 km per second.
Wouldn't an object moving at the speed of light relative to other things in space technically be at rest relative to itself and always allowed to accelerate?
It would be if it wasn't for the fact that time relative the object moving at high speed slows down as you approached the speed of light, and completely stops when you reach it. This is what prevents things from going faster than the speed of light.
How does being fit affect your resting heart rate?
Normally being fit strengthens your heart and slows down your heart when you rest.
When describing photons what is rest mass?
When describing photons specifically rest mass is zero. The "rest mass" is the hypothetical mass a photon would have if it weren't moving at the speed of light, which as just stated, is zero. Nothing with a non-zero rest mass can travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, because it would require a literally infinite amount of energy to accelerate to that speed. (Neutrinos have a very small, but non-zero, rest mass, and therefore travel at most at slightly under the speed of light.)
What have we found that travels closest to the speed of light?
Neutrinos travel so close to the speed of light we were unsure for awhile whether or not they had a rest mass.
Why gamma rays travel at the speed of light?
Because they are made up of photons, which have no rest mass. Having no rest mass, they are the only particle that is capable of traveling at the speed of light per the lorentz transformation.
A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest When the bus moves forward and then slows down the man continues moving forward at the original speed This is an example of the effect o?
This is an example of the property of inertia. It is a body of mass' tendency to resist change in motion. The man was in motion at the speed of the bus. When the bus slows, the mass of the man resists change in motion and continues to move forward. It's basically the rebelliousness of matter.
How long will it take to travel 3664 miles by boat?
The answer depends on the average speed of the boat and how long you can maintain that speed without stopping for refuelling, rest and so on.
What is the difference between photons and electrons?
Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
