Answer:
– 2.5 m/s²
Explanation:
We have,
• Initial velocity, u = 180 km/h = 50 m/s
• Final velocity, v = 0 m/s (it stops)
• Time taken, t = 20 seconds
We have to find acceleration, a.
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] a = (v ― u)/t
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] a = (0 – 50)/20 m/s²
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] a = –50/20 m/s²
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] a = – 5/2 m/s²
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] a = – 2.5 m/s² (Velocity is decreasing) [Answer]
