Answer:

The correct answer is option C, 228 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As per Newton’s third law of motion:

V2 – U2 = 2 x a x S

Where V = final velocity

U = Initial Vlocity

a = acceleration (-ve)

S= distance travelled

V= 0 mph

U= 55 mph = 80.6667 ft /sec

0 – (80.6667 ft /sec)2 = 2 x (-g/2) x S

S = (80.6667 ft /sec)2 /(32.2 feet per second per second x0.5)

S = 202.1 feet

So the most nearest option is option C
