Question
A driver decreasing the speed of a car from 25m/s to 10m/s in 5 second . find the acceleration of the car ?
Answer
Given,
- initial velocity of car (u) = 25m/s
- final velocity of car (V) = 10m/s
- time taken (t) = 5sec
What to find ?
- we have to find the acceleration of the car
Putting these values in the formula for acceleration ;
a=v-u/t
so we get ;
=> a= 10-25/5
=> a = -15/5
=> a = -3
so , the acceleration of car is -3m/s^2 .
- if it is a negative sign of acceleration it means that it is retardation.
- we can also set the car has a retardation of +3m/s^2
