Question

It was once recorded that a Jaguar

Answer 1

Answer:

71.85 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following :

Length of skid marks left by jaguar (s) = 290 m

Skidding Acceleration (a) = - 8.90m/s²

Final velocity of jaguar (v) = 0

Speed of Jaguar before it Began to skid =?

Hence, initial speed of jaguar could be obtained using the formula :

v² = u² + 2as

Where

v = final speed of jaguar ; u = initial speed of jaguar(before it Began to skid) ; a = acceleration of jaguar ; s = distance /length of skid marks left by jaguar

0² = u² + (2 × (-8.90) × 290)

0 = u² + (-5,162)

u² = 5162

Take the square root of both sides

u = √5162

u = 71.847 m/s

u = 71.85m/s
