Question

If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 13 m/s in 14 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car.Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. Assume ais negative if it acts in the opposite sense to the positive velocity.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

v = u + at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity , a is acceleration and t is time .

here v = 0 , u = 13 m /s , t = 14 s

putting the values

0 = 13 + 14 a

a = 13 / 14 m /s²

= - .9286

= - 0.929 m /s²
