<h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u></h3>
A racing car is travelling at 70 m/s and accelerates at -14 m/s^2. What would the car’s speed be after 3 s?
<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>A racing car is travelling at 70 m/s and accelerates at -14 m/s^2.
<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>- Initial velocity (u) = 70 m/s
- Acceleration (a) = -14 m/s^2
- Time (t) = 3 s
- Let the velocity of the car after 3 s be v m/s
- By using the formula,
v = u + at, we have
- So, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 28 m/s.
The car's speed after 3 s is 28 m/s.
Hope it helps
