Question
A car moving at 30 m/s slows uniformly to a speed of 10 m/s in a time of 5.0 s. Determine (a) the
acceleration of the car and (b) the distance it moves in the third second.
2.11
Let us take the direction of motion to be the +x-direction.
(a)
For the 5.0 s interval, we havet = 5.0 s, vix = 30 m/s, v = 10 m/s. Using v = Vix + at gives
