Hello!
A car traveling at 22.4 m/s skids to a stop in 2.25 s. Determine the skidding distance of the car
We have the following data:
a (acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)
t (time) = 2.25 s
Vf (final velocity) = 22.4 m/s
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s
We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let's see:
*** The distance traveled ?
We have the following data:
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s
t (time) = 2.25 s
a (average acceleration) = 9.955 m/s²
d (distance interval) = ? (in m)
By the formula of the space of the Uniformly Varied Movement, it is:
*** Another way to solve:
We have the following data:
Vf (final velocity) = 22.4 m/s
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s
a (average acceleration) = 9.955 m/s²
d (distance interval) = ? (in m)
Since we do not need to know the time elapsed during the movement, we apply the data of the question to the Equation of Torricelli, let us see:
