Acar is moving at 30 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. it decelerates at a constant rate of 5 ft/sec2 until it stops. if t = 0 represents the time at which the brakes are applied, how far will it go before stopping?

The distance traveled by car before stopping is

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed of car

Final speed of the car

Acceleration of the car

Let distance traveled before stopping be s

Using equation of motion

=>

=>

Thus the distance traveled by car before stopping is

distance = 150m

displ = root (50 ^2 + 100^2)

root(2500+10000)

root 125000
