A car with speed 72km/hr suddenly applies break. The break has maximum ability to decelerate with 5ms^(-2). Find time taken to stop the car after applying breaks?
Answers
Answer:
t = 4 s
Explanation:
u = 72km/h = 20 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = - 5 m/s² due to deceleration
t = ?
v = u + at
v - u = at
-5 x t = 0 - 20
t = 20/5
t = 4 s
Answer:
The time taken (t) to stop the car is 4 seconds
Given:
1. Initial velocity (u) = 72 Km/hr.
2. Deceleration (a) = - 5 m/s²
3. Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
Explanation:
____________________
First we need to convert Velocity into m/s (S.I Units)
we know,
⇒ 1 Km/h = 5 / 18 m/s
⇒ 72 Km/h = 72 × 5 / 18
⇒ 72 Km/h = 4 × 5
⇒ 72 Km/h = 20
⇒ v = 20 m/s
∴ We got the velocity in S.I units.

From First kinematic equation,
⇒ v = u + a t
Substituting the values,
⇒ 0 = 20 + (-5) × t
⇒ 0 = 20 - 5 × t
⇒ 0 = 20 - 5 t
⇒ 5 t = 20
⇒ t = 20 / 5
⇒ t = 4
⇒ t = 4 sec.
∴ The time taken (t) to stop the car is 4 seconds.
