<span>v(4 seconds)= 300 m/s - 9.8 (m/s^2)(4s) = 260.8 m/s </span>, hope this helps:)
Answer:
<u>We are given:</u>
displacement (s) = 130 m
acceleration (a) = -5 m/s²
final velocity (v) = 0 m/s [the cars 'stops' in 130 m]
initial velocity (u) = u m/s
<u>Solving for initial velocity:</u>
From the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
replacing the variables
(0)² - (u)² = 2(-5)(130)
-u² = -1300
u² = 1300
u = √1300
u = 36 m/s
