a. If a car traveling at 23.6 m/s is brought to a full stop in 4.00 s after the brakes are applied, find the average acceleration during braking. If the acceleration is in the direction of the car's velocity, enter a positive value. If the acceleration is in the direction opposite to the car's velocity, enter a negative value. answer in m/s^2
