Acar traveling east at 40.0 m/s passes a trooper hiding at the roadside. the driver uniformly reduces his speed to 25.0 m/s in 3.50 s. (a) what is the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down? (b) how far does the car travel in the 3.5-s time period?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 40 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

Time taken, t = 3.5 s

(a) We need to find the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down. It can be calculated using formula as :

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of motion i.e. west.

(b) Let s is the distance the car travel in the 3.5-s time period. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as

s = 113.9 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
