Question

Rebas car is moving at a constant velocity when, unfortunately, she is involved in a collision. Thankfully she is not injured. The car comes to rest after 0.550 s with an average acceleration of 55.0 m/s2 in the direction opposite that of the car's velocity. What was the speed of the car before the collision?

Step 1

- Average acceleration (a) = -55.0 m/s² (negative because it is in the opposite direction of the velocity) - Time (t) = 0.550 s - Final velocity (v_f) = 0 m/s (the car comes to rest) Show more…
