Answer:

12.25 m/s

Explanation:

If a car slows down at -5 m/s2 and it comes to a stop after traveling 15 m we just have to use the next formula:

Vf^{2} =Vo^{2} +2ad

Now we know that the final velocity is 0, so by inserting our data into the formula it would look like this:

Vf^{2} =Vo^{2} +2ad

0 =Vo^{2} +2(-5m/s^{2})(15m)

-Vo^{2}= -150m^{2}/s^{2}

Vo^{2}= 150m^{2}/s^{2}

Vo= \sqrt{150m^{2}/s^{2}}

Vo= 12.25m/s

Good formula to remember!

V_F^2 = V_0^2 + 2 * a * d

V_F = final speed
V_0 = initial speed

0^2 = V_0^2 + 2*(-5)*15 = V_0^2 -150,

V_0 = sqrt(150) = 12.25 m/s

Nady [450]
The acceleration is the principal subordinate of the speed if the speed is steady the subsidiary is invalid if the speed is diminishing the subsidiary is negative. When discussing so much stuff we consider the momentary esteem.

<span>Note that when you back off, you back off by and large yet can locally in time quicken a tiny bit, suppose amid 1/tenth of a sec since you achieved a segment of the street which was slanting. In any case, this does not change the way that when the speed diminishes, the quickening is negative.</span>

What is the area called where the particles are spread apart?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: Because of the longitudinal motion of the air particles, there are regions in the air where the air particles are compressed together and other regions where the air particles are spread apart. These regions are known as compressions and rarefactions respectively

No, because sometimes you have to stop at stop signs and stop lights.
