A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 22 ft/s2. What is the distance covered before the car comes to a stop

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct solution is "122.2211".

Explanation:

Given:

deceleration,

a = 22 ft/sec²

Initial velocity,

[tex]V_i=50 \ m/h[/tex]

Now,

[tex]V_i=50 \ m/h\times 5280 \ ft/m\times hr/3600 \ s[/tex]

    [tex]=73.333 \ ft/sec[/tex]

Now,

Final velocity,

[tex]V_f=0[/tex]

Initial velocity,

[tex]V_{initial} = 73.333 \ ft/sec[/tex]

hence,

⇒ [tex]V_f^2=V_i^2+2aD[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

      [tex]0=(73.333)^2+2\times( -22) D[/tex]

  [tex]44D=(73.333)^2[/tex]

      [tex]D=\frac{(73.333)^2}{44}[/tex]

          [tex]=122.2211[/tex]
