A car moving with an initial velocity of 30 m/s slows down at a constant rate of -3 m/s^2. a) What is its velocity after 4 seconds of deceleration? b) What distance does the car cover in this time? c) Plot velocity vs. time graph.

Step 1
Step 1: Identify the given values: - Initial velocity (\(u\)) = 30 m/s - Deceleration (\(a\)) = -3 m/s\(^2\) - Time (\(t\)) = 4 seconds Show more…

A car traveling in a straight line with an initial velocity of 10m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.0 m/s^2 to a velocity of 34m/s. a) How much time does it take for the car to reach the velocity of 34m/s? b) What is the distance covered by the car in this process? c) Compute values of the distance traveled at 1-second intervals and carefully draw a graph of distance plotted against time for this motion.
