Answer:
a = -2.4 ms⁻²
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial velocity of car = 37.1 m/s
Final velocity of car = 29.8 m/s
Time taken to change velocity = 3 sec
Acceleration of car = ?
Solution:
Formula:
a = Vf - V₀ / t
Vf = Final velocity
V₀ = Initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time taken to change velocity
Now we will put the values in formula.
a = 29.8 m/s - 37.1 m/s / 3 s
a = -7.3 m/s/ 3s
a = -2.4 ms⁻²
Negative sign show that car is slowing down.
