If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 13 m/s in 17 s , determine the constant deceleration of the car.

Question:  Initially, the car travels along a straight road with a speed of 35 m/s. If the brakes are applied and the speed of the car is reduced to 13 m/s in 17 s, determine the constant deceleration of the car.

1.29 m/s²

Explanation:

From the question,

a = (v-u)/t Equation 1

Where a = deceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

Given: v = 13 m/s, u = 35 m/s, t = 17 s.

a = (13-35)/17

a = -22/17

a = -1.29 m/s²

Hence the deceleration of the car is 1.29 m/s²

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
