A car driving at 76 km/h brakes and comes to a stop in 5 seconds. What was its average acceleration during this time in units of meters/second²?
Added by Victor C.
Step 1
Given initial velocity = 76 km/h 1 km/h = 1000 m / 3600 s = 0.27778 m/s Initial velocity = 76 km/h * 0.27778 m/s = 21.11 m/s Show more…
