To determine the displacement of the car when it comes to a stop, we need to calculate the time it takes for the car to decelerate to a velocity of 0 m/s.

We can use the equation of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where: v = final velocity (0 m/s, since the car comes to a stop) u = initial velocity (60 m/s) a = acceleration (-2 m/s^2, since the car is decelerating) s = displacement (unknown)

Rearranging the equation, we have:

s = (v^2 - u^2) / (2a)

Substituting the known values:

s = (0^2 - 60^2) / (2*(-2))

s = (-3600) / (-4)

s = 900 meters

Therefore, the displacement of the car when it comes to a stop is 900 meters.
