Question

Suppose a car traveling at 8m/s is brought to rest in a distance of 20m.what is it's deceleration and time taken.

Answer 1

Answer:

         Time - taken = 2.5 s

          deceleration= -8 m/s²

Solution:

            Given:

                     speed, v = 8 m/s

                 distance, d = 20m

                     

              To Find:

                     deacceleration = ?

               

               As we know speed is defined as

                          v = d/t

                plugging in the values

                          t =  20/ 8

                          t = 2.5s

                Now from deceleration formula

                        a =  - v/ t

                        a = - 20/ 2.5

                        a = - 8 m/s²

          Thus, the time taken and acceleration is 2.5 s and -8 m/s²

          respectively.
