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.
deceleration/retardation = 0.5 m/s² |
