You are traveling in a car that is moving at a velocity of 20 m/s. You have to slam on brakes to avoid a dog in the road. You slow to 5 m/s. If your acceleration is -3 m/s2, how long did it take you to slow to 5 m/s

Respuesta :

The time it takes you to slow to 5 m/s will be 5 seconds. Newton's first equation of motion is employed in a given problem.

What is velocity?

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  Velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

Given information;

Final velocity,v= 5 m\sec

Initial velociyt,u=20 m/sec

Acceleration,a=- 3m/s²

Time period,t=-?

From Newton's first equation of motion as;

[tex]\rm v = u+at \\\\ t= \frac{v-u}{a} \\\\ t= \frac{5 \ m/sec -20 m/sec }{-3 \ m/sec^2} \\\\\ t= 5 \ sec[/tex]

Hence, the time it takes you to slow to 5 m/s will be 5 seconds.
