Total displacement of the car: 405 m
Explanation:
The first part of the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the suvat equation
where:
u = 0 is the initial velocity (the car starts from rest)
is the time elapsed in the 1st part
is the acceleration of the car in the 1st part
is the displacement of the car in the 1st part
Solving for ,
We can also find the velocity of the car after these 20 seconds using the equation:
Now we can find the distance covered by the car in the 2nd part, where it decelerates after having seen the tree limb on the road. We can do it by using the suvat equation:
where:
is the initial velocity at the beginning of the 2nd phase
is the final velocity (the car comes to a stop)
is the time elapsed in the 2nd phase
Substituting,
So, the total displacement of the car is

Answer:
+7.0 m/s
Explanation:
Let's take rightward as positive direction.
So in this problem we have:
a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)
t = 4 s time interval
v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)
We can use the following equation:
v = u + at
Where u is the initial velocity
We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:
and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.
