a person driving a carvin a straight line with uniform velocity 36km/h he suddenly applied brake and the car stopped after travelling a distance 10 m waht is the time and acceleration
Answers
Answer:a=-5m/s² and t=2s
Explanation:u=36km/h or 10m/s
v=0m/s
s=10m
From equation :2as=v²-u²
a=v²-u²÷2s
=(0)²-(10)²÷(2×10)
=-100÷20
-5m/s²
Now with the first equation of motion we know that:v=u+at
By rearranging: t=(v-u)÷a
=(0-10)÷-5
=2s

Correct Question :
- a person driving a car in a straight line with uniform velocity 36 km/h he suddenly applied brake and the car stopped after travelling a distance 10 m what is the time and acceleration
Given:
- initial velocity=36 km/hr
- final velocity = 0 m/s
- distance traveled by the car=10 m
To find :
- time taken
- acceleration
Unit conversion :
we need to convert km / hr into m/s in order to do this we need to multiply by 5 /18
initial velocity
let us denote initial velocity of the car as' u '
Solution:
First we need to find the acceleration of the car
by using the third kinematic equation we get ,
here,
- v=final velocity
- u=initial velocity
- a=acceleration
- s=distance
Now substituting the given values in the above equation we get ,
Note: here the negative sign denotes deceleration

Now in order to find the time taken
Using the first kinematic equation ,
here,
- v=final velocity
- u=initial velocity
- a=acceleration
- t =time taken
Now substituting the given values in the above equation we get ,
Answer:
- acceleration of the car = -5 m/s^2
- time taken by the car = 2 seconds
