Question 1

A high-speed prototype maglev capsule with a mass of 15,000 kg15,000\text{ kg}15,000 kg is undergoing braking tests on a straight track.

The capsule enters the braking zone travelling at a velocity of 120 m s-1 and is brought to a complete stop by an electromagnetic braking system that exerts a constant resistive force of 180 kN180\text{ kN}180 kN.

Calculate the distance travelled by the capsule during this braking period.
