A fighter jet lands on an aircraft carrier's flight deck. Although the deck is 300 m long, most of the jet's acceleration occurs within a distance of 42 m. If the jet's velocity is reduced uniformly from 153 km/h to 0km/h as it moves through 42 m, what is the jet's acceleration?
I tried to do this problem myself, and I got -278,678.6 km/h², I believe that that answer is too high though.
