Use the formula Vf = Vo + at

Stop => Vf = 0

=> 0 = Vo + at => Vo = -at => t =-  Vo / a

Vo = 15 m/s

a = - 2 m/s^2

=> t = - 15 m/s / ( - 2 m/s^2) = 7.5 s

And you can find the distance travled by using the equation: d = Vo*t + at^2 / 2

=> d = 15 m/s * 7.5 s - 2m/s^2 * (7.5s)^2 / 2 = 56.25 m

Answer: 7.5s (and 56.25m)

Which type of energy is stored in a capacitor? electric potential energy chemical energy gravitational energy heat energy
Tom [10]

Energy stored in a capacitor is Electric Potential Energy. Capacitor is device used for storing energy. The work done to charge is a capacitor is stored in it in the form of Electrical potential energy. Electrical potential energy is defined as capacity to do work due to the position change. For example, we know fans have capacitor installed in it. When we turn off the fan, it continue moving using the electrical energy stored in the capacitor.

How is newtons law of motion used for testing the safety of automobile
Colt1911 [192]
Newton's first law of motion is an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by another force. Driving at 30 mph in a car is going to stay constant until you crash the car into a wall, stopping the car.

Describe the magnetic field when two unlike magnet poles are close together
MrMuchimi

A Magnet is an object that produces a Magnetic Field; it can be formed of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The word magnet comes from the Greek "magnítis líthos", which means "Magnesian Stone". Magnesia is an area in Greece (Now Manisa, Turkey) where deposits of magnetite have been discovered since antiquity.

Magnets come in many shapes but no matter what their shapes are, each magnet has a North Pole and a South Pole.

A Magnetic Field is said to exist in a region if a (Magnetic) Force can be exerted on a Magnet. Magnetic Field Lines (Flux Lines) are imaginary lines representing the direction and strength of the Magnetic Field. They go from the North Pole to the South Pole outside the Magnet, and go from the South Pole to the North Pole inside the Magnet. The density of the Magnetic Field Lines is higher near the Poles, and the Magnetic Force is stronger there.
