Answer:
-5m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration is defined as the change of velocity of a body with respect to time. Mathematically;
Acceleration a = change in velocity/time t
Where change in velocity = final velocity v - initial velocity u
acceleration a = final velocity v - initial velocity u/time t
a = v-u/t
If the speed of a car is decreasing uniformly from 35 m/s to 15 m/s in 4s then;
Initial velocity of the car = 35m/s
Final velocity of the car = 15m/s
Time taken = 4s
Substituting this datas in the formula, we can get the acceleration of the car;
Acceleration = 15-35/4
Acceleration = -20/4
Acceleration = -5m/s²
Negative acceleration shows that the car is decelerating
The magnitude of the car's acceleration is equal to -5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
Given the following data:
- Initial velocity = 35 m/s
- Final velocity = 15 m/s
- Time = 4 seconds
To determine the magnitude of the car's acceleration:
Mathematically, acceleration is given by the formula;
[tex]Acceleration = \frac{V\;-\;U}{t}[/tex]
Where:
- V is the final velocity.
- U is the initial velocity.
- t is the time measured in seconds.
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]Acceleration = \frac{15\;-\;35}{4}\\\\Acceleration = \frac{-20}{4}[/tex]
Acceleration = -5 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]
