The distance travelled by the bobsled is 56.3 m
Explanation:
The motion of the bobsled is a uniformly accelerated motion (constant acceleration), therefore we can solve the problem by applying the following suvat equation:
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is distance travelled
For the bobsled in this problem:
u = 32 m/s is the initial velocity
v = 22 m/s is the final velocity
[tex]a=-4.8 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration (negative since the bobsled is slowing down)
Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:
[tex]s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{22^2-32^2}{2(-4.8)}=56.3 m[/tex]
