Question

A moving trailer with a speed of 70km/h slows down its speed by 15% within 30 seconds. calculate the declaration of the trailer.

Answer 1

Answer:

declaration = - 0.55 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

The declaration is a negative accelaration.

Therefore:

$a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

a      = ?

v      = 70 of 15% = 10.5 km/h to m/s = 2.9 m/s

u = 70 km/h to m/s = 19.4 m/s

t = 30 seconds

$a = \frac{2.9-19.4}{30}$

a = - 0.55 m/s²
