Answer:
Deceleration =
units/sec^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a car is traveling at when the driver sees an accident m ahead and slams on the brakes.
i.e. if he is coming with speed v units/sec say, he has to make his velocity 0.
Distance travelled = m units
Initial velocity = v
Final velocity =0
Use the third formula as

So he has to apply an acceleration of
units/sec^2 to stop the car in time to avoid a pile up.
Deceleration =
units/sec^2
