Driving down the road at a speed of 26.6 m/s, you suddenly notice a fallen tree blocking the road a distance of 57.9 m ahead of you. You step on the brake pedal and decelerate at a constant rate. What must the magnitude of your acceleration be so that you will come to a stop 7.6 m in front of the tree? 7.03 m/s^2 6.11 m/s^2 5.40 m/s^2 14.07 m/s^2
