Answer:
Acceleration, [tex]a=-6.705\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
It is given that,
Velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = 26.82 m/s
Finally it comes to stop, v = 0
Time taken, t = 4 s
We need to find the acceleration of the car. The change in velocity divided by time is called the acceleration of the object. Mathematically, it is given by :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{0-26.82}{4}[/tex]
[tex]a=-6.705\ m/s^2[/tex]
Negative sign shows the car is decelerating. So, the acceleration of the car is [tex]6.705\ m/s^2[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
