ANSWER:

3rd option: 1496 meters

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 67 m/s

Time (t) = 45 s

Acceleration (a) = -1.5 m/s/s

We can determine the distance as follows:


\begin{gathered} d=ut+(1)/(2)at^2 \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ d=67\cdot45+(1)/(2)\cdot-1.5\cdot45^2 \\ \\ d=3015-1518.75 \\ \\ d=1496.25\cong1496\text{ m} \end{gathered}

The correct answer is 3rd option: 1496 meters
