Answer» velocity, u = 54 km/h or 15 m/sFinal velocity, V = 0 m/s ( as the car comes to STOP )Time taken, t = 5sa)We know,==> v = u + at==> 0 = 15 + 5a==> -15 = 5a==> a = -15/5==> a = - 3 m/s²b)Refer to the attachment.c)Distance travelled = area==> area = base × height /2==> area = 5 × 15 / 2==> area = 75 / 2Distance travelled = 37.5 m |
