A car starts from rest with an acceleration of 5 ft/s. What is its velocity after it has gone 600 ft?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer:

First, let’s correct the question. Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity. Its unit therefore is ft/sec/sec. If S is the distance traveled for a given duration, S = Vot + (1/2)at^2 where Vo is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. For Vo = 0, a = 6m/sec/sec and t = 3 sec. The distance traveled is S = 0 + (1/2) x 6 x 3^2 = 27 meters

A car is traveling at vx = 30 m/s . The driver applies the brakes and the car decelerates at ax = -5.0 m/s2 . What is the stoppi

____ [38]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

We use an ecuation of uniformly accelerated motion, which allows us to find the distance traveled by the car from the moment that driver applies the brakes until it stops completely, that is, when its final speed is zero.

$v_{f}^2=v_{o}^2+2ad$
