The brakes of a car traveling at 16 m/s can decelerate it until it stops after 10m. Find (a) its negative acceleration, and (b) the time requires to stop

2 answers

a. V^2 = Vo^2 + 2a*d
V = 0
Vo = 16 m/s
d = 10 m.
Solve for a.

b. V = Vo + a*t
V = 0
Vo = 16 m/s.
a = Value calculated in part a.
Solve for t.
