Answer:
a) t = 4.04 s
, b) x = 89.77 m
Explanation:
This is a one-dimensional kinematics exercise.
a) Let's use caution to find the time, the vehicle speed when stopped is zero
v = v₀ - at
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
v₀ = 160 km /h (1000m / 1km) (1h / 3600s) = 44.44 m / s
0 = v₀ - at
t = v₀ / a
t = 44.44 / 11
t = 4.04 s
b) to calculate the distance traveled we use
x = v₀t - ½ a t²
x = 44.44 4.04 - ½ 11.0 4.04²
x = 179.54 - 89.77
x = 89.77 m
