A drag racer crosses the finish line, and the driver deploys a parachute and applies the brakes to slow down, as the figure illustrates. The driver begins slowing down when t1=10 s and the car's velocity is v1=+25 m s-1. When t2=15 s, the velocity has been reduced to v2=+15 m s-1. What is the average acceleration of the dragster?
