A typical jetliner lands at a speed of 1.60 3 102 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.0 mi/h)/s. If the plane travels at a constant speed of 1.60 3 102 mi/h for 1.00 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the aircraft between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
