Question

A scooter moving in a straight line at a speed of 10 m/s is stopped by applying brakes which produces a uniform retardation
of 1 m/s2. What distance will it travel before coming to rest?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

s=100m

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity of scooter=10 m/s

final velocity=0 m/s

acceleration of scooter=-0.5 m/s² {Negetive as it is retardation}

Applying the formula v²-u²=2as

-100=2x-0.5xs

-100=-s

s=100    

Distance traveled by scooter before it stops is 100m
