When a car driver travelling at a speed of 10 m/s applies brakes and brings the car to rest in 20 s, then the retardation will be:

Answer»

ong>Answer:

-0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

v = 0 m/s  (since the car COMES to rest)

u = 10 m/s

t = 20 seconds

ACCELERATION = (v-u)/t

= (0-10)/20

= -1/2

acceleration = -0.5 m/s²

We know that, negative acceleration is also KNOWN as deceleration or retardation.

THEREFORE,

deceleration/retardation = 0.5 m/s²
