Answer

The total distance traveled by the disk is $~~9.0~m$

Work Step by Step

The distance traveled during the acceleration period is $1.8~m$ We can find the distance traveled during the deceleration period: $v^2 = v_0^2+2ax$ $x = \frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2a}$ $x = \frac{0-(6.0~m/s)^2}{(2)(-2.5~m/s^2)}$ $x = 7.2~m$ The total distance traveled by the disk is $~~9.0~m$
