Question
(1) A car slows down from 25 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ to rest in a distance of85 $\mathrm{m} .$ What was its acceleration, assumed constant?
Step 1
The initial velocity (v0) is 25 m/s, the final velocity (v) is 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest), and the distance (Δx) is 85 m. We are asked to find the acceleration (a). Show more…
