Question

Scientists conduct crash tests on cars to determine their safety. Suppose the maximum allowed deceleration during a crash is –23 m/s². The crash tests on the latest model sedan show a deceleration from 10 m/s to 0 m/s in just 0.4 s during a particular type of collision. Is the deceleration within the acceptable range?

A. Yes, the deceleration is 10 m/s².
B. Yes, the deceleration is 20 m/s².
C. No, the deceleration is 24 m/s².
D. No, the deceleration is 25 m/s².

Answer 1

The best and the most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the third choice. The deceleration is not within the acceptable range since it is 24 m/s^2. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
