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