A giant bull running at 15 m/s slows at a rate of 2.4 meters per second per second. How long does it take it to stop?
To find the time it takes for the giant bull to stop, we can use the equation of motion:
v = u + a*t
Where:
v is the final velocity (0 m/s, since it stops)
u is the initial velocity (15 m/s)
a is the acceleration (-2.4 m/s^2, as it is slowing down)
t is the time taken
Rearranging the equation, we get:
t = (v - u) / a
Substituting the given values, we have:
t = (0 - 15) / (-2.4)
t = -15 / -2.4
t ≈ 6.25 seconds
Therefore, it takes approximately 6.25 seconds for the giant bull to stop running.
