Recall that
where and
are the initial and final velocities, respecitvely;
is the acceleration; and
is the change in position.
So we have
(Normally, this equation has two solutions, but we omit the negative one because the car is moving in one direction.)
Sarah's acceleration is
Explanation:
The force of kinetic friction acting on Sarah has a magnitude which is given by:
where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
m is Sarah's mass
g is the acceleration of gravity
Moreover, according to Newton's second law of motion, we know that the net force on Sarah is equal to its mass times its acceleration:
where a is the acceleration
Since the force of friction is the only force acting on Sarah, we can say that the net force is equal to the force of friction, therefore:
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction has a direction opposite to the motion of Sarah. Solving for a, we find
And substituting the following values:
(coefficient of friction)
(acceleration of gravity)
we find:
