we have

v = u + at

the acceleration will be given as

a = (v - u) / t

here as the car comes to rest

v = 0

and given

u = 54 km/hr = 15 m/s

t = 8

so,

a = (0 - 15) / 8

thus, 

a = -1.875 m/s2

plz react thanks


sujan3: how did 54km/hr converted into 15m/sec
williampreetbhullar1: by using the formula to convert km /hr to m/sec...which is divided km/hr by 1000/3600
williampreetbhullar1: if you want to convert m/sec to km/hr ..divide it by 3600 /1000

u =initial velocity
v =final velocity
a =acceleration
t =time
According to question
u=54km/hr
we will convert it into m/sec
54 ×1000 /3600
15 m
u =15m
v =0m/sec
t =8 sec
a =v -u /t
a=0-15 /8
a =-15 /8 m/sec^2
a .=-1.875 m /sec ^2

williampreetbhullar1: my pleasure
