Question

A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 40 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. The car skids for 4 s with constant acceleration before it comes to a stop. What was the rate of the car's acceleration as it skidded to a stop?

Answer 1

10m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

velocity= 40m/s

time= 4 seconds

Acceleration a =????

We know that

a= velocity/time

substitute

a=40/4

a= 10m/s^2

Hence the acceleration will be 10m/s^2
