A racecar was going 60 m/s when it quickly came to a full stop at a pitstop in 8.0 sec. What was the acceleration of the dragster? Answer to the nearest hundredth
You start by writing down your parameters; u=60m/s v=0 t=8s So acceleration(a)=v-u/t =0-60/8 =-60/8 =-7.5m/s To the nearest hundredth will be -7.5*100 =-750m/s
