A car traveling at 45 km/h starts to brake, and comes to a stop over a distance of 18 m. Calculate the acceleration

Answer:

Acceleration, a=8.68\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 45 km/h = 12.5 m/s

Final speed, v = 0 (as they comes to rest)

Distance, d = 18 m

We need to find the acceleration of the breaking car. Using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Where a is acceleration of the car}\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(12.5)^2}{18}\\\\a=8.68\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the braking car is 8.68\ m/s^2.

Why the unit of power is called derived unit? <br>​
Lilit [14]
A :-) it was given the name Newton (N). from this, the derived unit of energy (or work) is defined ,as the work produced when the unit of force causes a displacement equal to the unit of length of its point of application along its direction . It was given the name Joule (J).

A ball rolls horizontally off a table of height 0.6 m with a speed of 9 m/s. How long does it take the ball to reach the ground?
denis23 [38]

Answer: 0.067 s

Explanation:s = Ut + 1/2at^2

0.6 = 9t + 0.5 *10 *t^2

Where a = g =10m/s/s

Solving the quadratic equation

5t^2 + 9t - 0.6=0,

t= 0.067 s and - 1.7 s

Of which 0.067 s is a valid time
