5. You are driving at 15.0 m/s when you suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. You come to a complete stop. When you stop, your acceleration is determined by your tires and the road conditions, and it is a constant -10.3 m/s². The skid marks you leave behind can be measured to determine your displacement. a) How long will your skid marks be?
