A truck pulls a caravan at 85 km/h [S]. When they hit a bump in the road the caravan detaches! If the caravan decelerates at a rate of 1.3 m/s² [N] along the road, how far it will travel before it stops?​

The caravan has an initial speed of

85 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1/3600 h/s) ≈ 23.611 m/s

If it slows down at a constant rate, then it will cover a distance x such that

0² - (23.611 m/s)² = 2 (-1.3 m/s²) x

Solve for x :

x = -(23.611 m/s)² / (2 (-1.3 m/s²)) ≈ 214.417 m ≈ 210 m
