The car has a constant deceleration of 4.20 m/s^2. If its initial velocity was 24.0 m/s, how long does it take to come to a stop? Answer in s

Respuesta :

Answer:

The time is 5.71 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration [tex]a= -4.20 m/s^2[/tex]

Initial velocity = 24.0 m/s

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

v = u+at[/tex]

Where, v = final velocity

u = inital velocity

t = time

a = acceleration

Put the value into the formula

[tex]0 =24.0 +(-4.20)\times t[/tex]

[tex]t = \dfrac{-24.0}{-4.20}[/tex]

[tex]t=5.71\ sec[/tex]

Hence, The time is 5.71 sec.
