Show that the equation for the stopping distance of a car

Chapter 25, Problem 29P

(choose chapter or problem)

Show that the equation for the stopping distance of a car is \(d_{s}=v_{o} t_{R}-v_{0}^{2} /(2 \alpha)\), where \(v_{o}\) is the initial speed of the car, \(t_{R}\) is the driver’s reaction time, and \(\alpha\) is the constant acceleration (and is negative).
