A car is moving at a velocity of 54Kmh ^ -1. Suddenly driver applies brakes and produces a deceleration of 6m/s2. Find the distance covered by the car before coming to rest.

Answer»

Given:-

Initial VELOCITY of the car(u)=54km/h

=>54×5/18

=>3×5

=>15m/s

Deceleration=6m/s

Thus,ACCELERATION(a) is -6m/s²

Final velocity(v)=0 (as the car finally STOPS after the application of brakes)

To find:-

Distance covered by the car be fore COMING to rest(s).

Solution:-

We wil use here the third equation of motion i.e.----

{v}^{2} -  {u}^{2}  = 2as

0 -  {15}^{2}  = 2 \times ( - 6)s

- 225 =  - 12s

s =  \frac{ - 225}{ - 12}

s = 18.75m

Thus,the distance covered by the car is 18.75m.
