Question

a scooter moving at speed of 10m/s is stopped by applying brakes which produce a uniform acceleration of 0.5m/s^2.How much distance will be covered by scooter before it stops?

Answer 1

hope it helps......u

Answer 2

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 10 m/s, Final velocity = 0 m/s, Acceleration = -0.5 m/s^2

Distance = ?

v^2 - u^2 = 2as (Third Equation Of Motion)

0^2 - 10^2 = 2(-0.5)(s)

0 - 100 = -1s

-1s = -100

s = 100 m
