when a car travel at a speed of 60km/he applies brake it comes to rest in 15s then the retardation of the car is
Answers
Given
- a car travel at a speed of 60 km/h applies brake it comes to rest in 15 s
To Find
- Retardation of the car
Concept Used
- Retardation and acceleration are both same but opposite in direction
Solution
Initial velocity , u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s²
Final velocity , v = 0 m/s
Since , finally comes to rest
Time , t = 15 s
Acceleration , a = ? m/s²
Apply 1st equation of motion ,
⇒ v = u + at
⇒ (0) = (16.67) + a(15)
⇒ 15a = -16.67
⇒ a = -1.12 m/s²

When a car travel at a speed of 60km/he applies brake it comes to rest in 15s then the retardation of the car is.
Formula used here:
a =(v+u)/2×t
v=u+at
Method to do:
Just by converting the initial velocity in meter per second and apply the formula to find out the actual result .
Additional inf:
Retardation-It refers to the negative form of accleration means when the moving object or body covers any distance in opposite direction from the target.
Solution:-
Using formula,
v= u +at
Then,
initial velocity=60km/hrs
=(60x1000)/60x60
= 16.67 m/s
Final velocity=0m/s
Time taken =15 seconds
So,
v=u+at
0=16.67+15a
a= -16.67/15m/s²
a= -1.11m/s²
