Question

A car of mass 1200Kilograms moving at 15 m/s the driver applies the brakes for 0.08 seconds and the castles down to 10 meter per second calculate the acceleration of the car

Answer 1

• Initial velocity=u=15m/s
• Final velocity=v=10m/s
• Time=0.08s

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(v-u)/(t)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(10-15)/(0.08)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=(-5)/(0.08)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=-62.5m/s^2`
