In a panic-stop, a car's brakes produced an acceleration of -8.0 m/s2 (or a deceleration of 8.0 m/s2). If you are traveling at 35 m/s, your speed after braking for 3.0 s will be
35-8-8-8=3 or 3 m/s
Vi - 8 t
like DROSP said
To determine the speed of the car after braking for 3.0 seconds, you can use the formula:
vf = vi + at
Where:
vf = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
a = acceleration (or deceleration)
t = time
Given:
vi = 35 m/s (initial velocity),
a = -8.0 m/s^2 (deceleration),
t = 3.0 s (time)
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
vf = 35 m/s + (-8.0 m/s^2) × 3.0 s
Calculating the expression inside the brackets, we get:
vf = 35 m/s + (-24 m/s)
Adding the velocities together, we have:
vf = 35 m/s - 24 m/s
vf = 11 m/s (final velocity)
Therefore, the car's speed after braking for 3.0 seconds will be 11 m/s.
