Or.. use calculus?

It has gotten quite impressive at handling calculus word problems. GPT-4 (original) failed miserably on this problem (attempted to set it up using constant acceleration equations); GPT-4O finally gets it correct:

> I am driving a car at 65 miles per hour and release the gas pedal. The only force my car is now experiencing is air resistance, which in this problem can be assumed to be linearly proportional to my velocity.

> When my car has decelerated to 55 miles per hour, I have traveled 300 feet since I released the gas pedal.

> How much further will I travel until my car is moving at only 30 miles per hour?
