When solid material expands in response to an increase in temperature (thermal expansion), it can increase in length in a process known as linear expansion. for an example application of expansion and contraction.

examples =
(1) Changing of shape and dimensions of objects such as doors.
(2) Wall collapsing due to bulging.

A car moving west slows down from a velocity of 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
velikii [3]
Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²
