An object experiences an acceleration of -6.8 m/s². As a result, it accelerates from 54 m/s to a complete stop. How much distance did it travel during that acceleration?

Given :-
Acceleration of the object, a = -6.8m/s²
Initial Velocity of the object, u = 54 m/s
Final Velocity of the object, v = 0 m/s
To find :-
The distance travelled by the object
Solution :-
As we are provided with constant accerlation (a) initial Velocity (u) and final velocity (v) we can use 3rd equation of motion .
so, using 3rd equation of motion .i.e.,
➠ v² - u² = 2as
here,
v denotes final velocity,u denotes initial Velocity,a denotes accerlation and s denotes distance covered
so, substituting all the given values .i.e.,
➠ (0)² - (54)² = (2)(-6.8)(s)
➠ -2916 = -13.6s
➠ s = 2916/13.6
➠ s = 224.3 m
thus, the distance travelled by the object is 224.3 m.
