Answer:
Explanation:
Initial velocity , u = 27 m/s
displacement before stop, s = 41.5 m .
final velocity, v = 0
acceleration a = ?
v² = u² + 2 a s
0 = 27² + 2 x a x 41.5
a = - 27² / 2 x 41.5
= - 8.78 m /s
There you go!
as it is unnecessary to find velocity, so use the equation with v
remember to take all directions downwards as it is more convenient to calculate
after substituting the values, you have to reject the negative answed as time must be+
