    Let d is the distance covered by the car

    Given vi = 16, vf = 0, t = 4

    Byusing the following formula we can calculate the acceleration;

    vf - vi = at

    a = vf - vi / t

    =0 - 16 / 4

    a = - 4m/s²

    Now use this formula to calculate distance

    d = 1/2at ² + vit

    =1/2 (-4) (4) ² + 16 (4)

    =-32 + 64

    d = 32 m

    So, the car travels 32m during this 4 second interval.
