Question

A driver notices an upcoming speed limit change from 45 mi/h (20 m/s) to 25 mi/h (11 m/s). If she estimates

Answer 1

Answer:

-2.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20 m/s

v = 11 m/s

Δx = 50 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(11 m/s)² = (20 m/s)² + 2a (50 m)

a = -2.79 m/s²

Round as needed.
