When a drag strip vehicle reaches a velocity of 120 m/s, it begins a negative acceleration by releasing a drag chute and applying the brakes. While reducing its velocity back to zero, its acceleration along a straight-line path is constant -15 m/s2 (negative acceleration). What displacement does it undergo during this deceleration period?
