<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> = initial velocity (27 m/s), <em>v</em> = final velocity (0), <em>a</em> = acceleration (-8 m/s², taken to be negative because we take direction of movement to be positive), and ∆<em>x</em> = stopping distance.

So

0² - (27 m/s)² = 2 (-8 m/s²) ∆<em>x</em>

∆<em>x</em> = (27 m/s)² / (16 m/s²)

∆<em>x</em> ≈ 45.6 m

zalisa [80]
A volt-ampere is the product of the voltage and the current (measured in amperes) of the electricity on a line. Voltage is electric potential difference in charge between two points in an electrical field. it is measured in volts. while the Current is the flow of electrical charge which is often carried by moving electrons in a wire or a conductor. Current is measured in Amperes.
