a sled is moving with a velocity of 8m/s. The sled slows to a stop over a time of 4s, covering a distance of 16m. What is the sleds acceleration

Given:-Initial velocity, u = 8 m/s Time taken, t = 4 s Distance covered, s = 16 mTo be calculated:-

Calculate the acceleration ,a .

Formula used:-

s = ut + 1/2 at²

Solution:-

According to the second equation of motion, we have

s = ut + 1/2 at²

★Substituting the values in the above formula,we get:

⇒ 16 = 8 × 4 + 1/2 × a × 4

⇒ 16 = 32 + 2a

⇒ 2a = 16 - 32

⇒ 2a = -16

⇒ a = -16/2

⇒ a = -8 m/s²

Hence,the acceleration is -8 m/s² .

Is it b the answer and yes

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
