A golf cart is moving at 10 m/s and begins slowly decelerating until it comes to a complete stop after 20 s. what is the average velocity?
what is the displacement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]v_{avg} = 5\ m/s[/tex]

displacement =  100 m

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity of cart = 10 m/s

golf cart is slowly decelerating

time taken to stop = 20 s

final velocity = 0 m/s

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

0 = 10 - a× 20

a =  0.5 m/s²

[tex]Average\ velocity = \dfrac{total\ displacement}{total\ time}[/tex]

total displacement

v² = u² + 2 a s

0 = 10² - 2 × 0.5 ×s

s = 100 m

now,

[tex]Average\ velocity = \dfrac{total\ displacement}{total\ time}[/tex]

[tex]v_{avg} = \dfrac{100}{20}[/tex]

[tex]v_{avg} = 5\ m/s[/tex]
