Answer: A) Deceleration of the car is -6.6667 m/s² while it came to stop.
B) The total distance the car travels is 200 meter during the 10 s period.
Explanation:
Given Data
Initial velocity of the car () = 20.0 m/s
Final velocity of the car () = 0 m/s
Time (in motion) =7.00 s
Time (in rest) =3 s
To find - A) car's deceleration while it came to a stop
B) the total distance the car travels in 10 s
A) The formula to find the deceleration is
Deceleration = (( final velocity - initial velocity ) ÷ Time) (m/s²)
Deceleration = (() - (
)) ÷ time (m/s²)
Deceleration = ( 0.0 - 20 ) ÷ 3 (m/s²)
Deceleration = (- 20) ÷ 3 (m/s²)
Deceleration = - 6.6667 m/s²
(NOTE : Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration so the final result must have the negative sign)
The car's deceleration is - 6.6667 m/s² while it came to a stop
B) The formula to find the distance traveled by the car is
Distance traveled by the car is equals to the product of the speed and time
Distance = Speed × Time (meter)
Distance = 20.0 × 10
Distance = 200 meters
The total distance the car travels during the period of 10 s is 200 meters
