Analysis of an accident scene indicates a car was traveling at a velocity of 69.5 mph (31.1 m/s) along the positive x-axis at th

e instant the brakes were applied and then traveled a distance of 115 m before hitting an obstacle at a velocity of 5.20 m/s. Determine the car's acceleration a (assumed constant) and the time t between applying the brakes and hitting the obstacle. (Assume the car is moving in the positive direction. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

We can find the acceleration via

{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x

We have

\left(5.20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2-\left(31.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2a(115\,\mathrm m)

\implies\boxed{a=-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}

Then by definition of average acceleration,

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}t

so that

-4.09\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}t

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

We alternatively could have found the time without knowing the acceleration. Since acceleration is constant, the average velocity is

v_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{x_f-x_i}t=\dfrac{v_f+v_i}2

Then

\dfrac{115\,\rm m}t=\dfrac{5.20\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}+31.1\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}2

\implies\boxed{t=6.33\,\mathrm s}

What is wrong with this solution
zzz [600]

Answer:

A. -5m/5 does not equal m

Step-by-step explanation:

-5m/5 = -m, not m.

In step 2, both sides should be divided by -5, not by 5.

Answer: A. -5m/5 does not equal m
