Question

A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 50.0 m from a speed is 99.0km/h. What is its acceleration in m/s2?

Answer 1

99.0km/h =27.5m/s (this is the initial speed)
The final speed is zero
The distance is 50.0m
Therefore you use the formula:
vfinal²=vinitial²+2ad
a=(vfinal²-vinitial²)/2d
= (0²-27.5²)/(2x50.0)
=-7.5625 or in correct sigdigs -7.56m/s²
Hope this helps!
