Answer

the distance travelled by the car before it starts to roll back $ =264.7m$

Work Step by Step

Intial velocity of the car $ v_i = 30m/s$ Final velocity of the car $ v_f =0$ acceleration of the car $a = -gsin(10) = -1.7m/s^2$ let $s$ be the distance travelled by the car before it starts to roll back. Thus we have $ 2as =v^2 -u^2$ $ 2* (-1.7)* s = 0 -30^2$ $ s = \frac{900}{3.4}$ $s = 264.7 m$
