To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>

malfutka [58]

Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)
