When maggie applies the brakes of her car, the car slows uniformly from 15.00m/s to 0.00m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?

Final answer:

The acceleration of the car cannot be determined without knowing the time taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:

acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time

In this case, the car slows uniformly from 15.00 m/s to 0.00 m/s. Therefore, the initial velocity is 15.00 m/s, the final velocity is 0.00 m/s, and the time taken to reach 0.00 m/s is not given.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we need to know the time taken. Without the time given, we cannot determine the acceleration.
