When a moving car is brought to a stop with the brakes, its acceleration vector is 29. (a) in the same direction as its velocity
1 answer:
To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of motion, specifically that of acceleration. Acceleration can be defined as the change of speed in an instant of time, mathematically this is
If a mobile is decreasing its speed (it is slowing down), then its acceleration is in the opposite direction to the movement. This would imply that the acceleration vector is opposite to the velocity vector.
Therefore the correct answer is B.

Answer:
v = 10 m/s
Explanation:
given,
Mass of Mercedes engine = 2000 Kg
Power delivered = 100 kW
angle made with horizontal = 30°
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
largest speed car can sustain = ?
we know,
Power = Force x velocity
P = F x v
P = mg sinθ x v
P = mg sin 30° x v
P = 0.5 mg x v
v = 10 m/s
hence, the maximum velocity is equal to v = 10 m/s
