The answer is -4 m/s². A car traveling at an initial velocity of 36 meter per second starts to decelerate and then suddenly the car comes to a complete stop which means the final velocity is zero. The acceleration can be calculated as
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time interval
= (0 m/s - 36 m/s) / 9s
= -4 m/s²
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time interval
= (0 m/s - 36 m/s) / 9s
= -4 m/s²
The equation of movement of the car is given by:
[tex] vf = a * t + vo [/tex]
Where,
vf: final speed
a: acceleration
t: time
vo: initial speed
By the time the car stops we have:
[tex] vf = 0 [/tex]
Substituting values we have:
[tex] 0 = a * 9 + 36 [/tex]
Clearing the acceleration we have:
[tex] a = -36/9 a = -4 m / s ^ 2[/tex]
Answer:
its acceleration is:
[tex] a = -4 m / s ^ 2[/tex]
[tex] vf = a * t + vo [/tex]
Where,
vf: final speed
a: acceleration
t: time
vo: initial speed
By the time the car stops we have:
[tex] vf = 0 [/tex]
Substituting values we have:
[tex] 0 = a * 9 + 36 [/tex]
Clearing the acceleration we have:
[tex] a = -36/9 a = -4 m / s ^ 2[/tex]
Answer:
its acceleration is:
[tex] a = -4 m / s ^ 2[/tex]
