Chu Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 A car travelling at 30mph accelerates at a rate of -10 miles per hour per second. How long does it take to come to a stop? What is the car’s average speed during that time? How far does the car travel during that time? (b) A car travelling at 60mph accelerates at the same rate. How far does it travel before coming to a stop? How does this compare to your answer for part (a)? Can someone please show me how to solve this. I know the answers, I just want to know how to perform this problem. Thanks!
mathematic Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Basic equation: v=v_0+at and solve for t. v=0 (stop), v_0=30, a= -10. For the second question v_0=60. To get distance traveled, integrate v(t) from time t=0 to time t=stop.
