Question

Can someone please help me?​

Answer 1

Answer:

15.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the time the driver activated the brakes until he stopped, he travelled 76 - 14 = 62 meters.

During this time the car slowed  down from 8 m/s to 0 m/s.

Assuming the deceleration was constant during this time we can apply one of the equations of motion for constant  acceleration:

s = (u + v)t / 2   where u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, s = distance and t = the time, so:-

62 = (8 + 0)t/ 2

62 = 8t/2

4t = 62

t = 15.5 seconds.
