The answer to this question is b
Answer:
420m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Time = 5minutes
Average speed = 1.4m/s
Unknown:
Distance covered = ?
Solution:
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.
Mathematically;
Speed = 
Distance = speed x time
Insert the parameters and solve;
Convert the time to seconds;
1 minute = 60s
5 minute = 5 x 60 = 300s
So,
Insert the parameters and find the distance;
Distance = 300 x 1.4 = 420m
The acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration exerted by any object in order of decrease in the speed is termed as deceleration. In other words , negative acceleration or acceleration acting in opposite direction to stop the motion of any object is termed as deceleration. The magnitude of acceleration and deceleration is same only the direction is completely opposite to each other. So the negative sign will be obtained for acceleration value of any object whose velocity slows down from initial velocity.
Here , the initial velocity was 60 m/s and the final velocity is slowed down to 40 m/s in time 10 s.
So acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocty)/Time
Acceleration = (40-60)/10 = -20/10 = -2 m/s².
Thus, the acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².
