Hello!

The speed of a car is decreased uniformly from 30. meters per second to 10. meters per second in 4.0 seconds. What was the car's acceleration ?

We have the following data:

V (final velocity) = 10 m/s

Vo (initial velocity) = 30 m/s

ΔV  (speed interval)  = V - Vo → ΔV  = 10 - 30 → ΔV  = - 20 m/s

ΔT (time interval) = 4.0 seconds

a (average acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)

Formula:

\boxed{a = \dfrac{\Delta{V}}{\Delta{T}}}

Solving:

a = \dfrac{\Delta{V}}{\Delta{T}}

a = \dfrac{-20\:\dfrac{m}{s}}{4.0\:s}

\boxed{\boxed{a = - 5\:\frac{m}{s^2}}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}

Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s

Time for the change = 4.0sec

Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4  =  <em>-5 m/s² </em>

What type of energy does the box have after it is done being pulled?
Ksivusya [100]
Assuming that the box is moving when it is being pulled, Work is done on the box.

So work is the Force times the distance

W=Fd

But what is work actually ? When something moves due to force over some change in distance, it have energy.

But where does this energy come from ? Does it magically appear ? The energy comes from the applied force onto the box.

So the energy have been transferred. And it’s like that throughout the universe

Now to save time, I’ll just tell you the answer: kinetic energy
