At time t = 0 a car has a velocity of 16 m/s. It slows down with an acceleration given by
−0.50t, in m/s2 for t in seconds. It stops at t =
A. 64 s
B. 32 s
C. 16 s
D. 8.0s
E. 4.0s​

Respuesta :

A car is moving at 16 m/s at a time t = 0. With an acceleration of 0.50t, in m/s², for t, in seconds, it slows down. At t = 8 seconds, it stops. Option D is correct.

What is velocity?

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  velocity is a vector quantity.

Given data;

t = 0 ,u=16 m/s

acceleration = −0.50t m/s²

v=0,t=?

The acceleration is found as;

[tex]\rm a= \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\\ dv=adt \\\\ dv=-0.50 \ t dt[/tex]

Intregating both sides we get;

[tex]\rm [v]_0^{16}=-0.50\frac{t^2}{2} \\\\ 16=0.25 t^2\\\\\ t^2=\frac{16}{0.25} \\\\\ t= 8 \ sec[/tex]

Hence, the car stops at t=8sec. Option D is correct.
