Question

The tires of a car make 77 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 95.0 km/h to 65.0 km/h. The tires have a diameter of 0.90 m.

If the car continues to decelerate at this rate, how far does it go? Find the total distance.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

95.0 km/hr = 26.39 m/s

65 km/hr = 18.06 m/s

Circumference of a tire is 0.9π m

77 revolutions is a distance of

77(0.9π) = 69.3π m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²) / 2s

a = (18.06² - 26.39²) / (2(69.3π))

a = -0.85 m/s²

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 26.39²) / 2(-0.85)

s = 409 m
