Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street (see the figure ). You brake for 1.00 , slowing your 970- car from 16.0 to 9.50 .
And the question is ?
To find the acceleration of the car, you can use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
Initial velocity (vi) = 16.0 m/s
Final velocity (vf) = 9.50 m/s
Time (t) = 1.00 s
Substituting the values into the formula:
acceleration = (9.50 m/s - 16.0 m/s) / 1.00 s
acceleration = (-6.50 m/s) / 1.00 s
acceleration = -6.50 m/s²
So, the acceleration of the car is -6.50 m/s².
To find the acceleration of the car, we can use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given that the initial velocity (u) of the car is 16.0 m/s, the final velocity (v) is 9.50 m/s, and the time (t) it took to slow down is 1.00 s, we can calculate the acceleration as follows:
acceleration = (9.50 m/s - 16.0 m/s) / 1.00 s
Acceleration = (-6.50 m/s) / 1.00 s
Acceleration = -6.50 m/s²
Note that the negative sign indicates that the car is decelerating or slowing down.
