- 5. A car is traveling at 95.0 km/hr. The driver steps on the brakes and the car comes to a stop in 60.0 m. What is the car's deceleration?arrow_forwardA car starts from 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 4.00 m/s2 for 6.0 s, it coasts for 5.00 s, and then slows down at a rate of 2.00 m/s2to a stop. How far has it traveled, in meters? Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.arrow_forwardDuring takeoff, an airplane goes from 0m/s to 58 m/s in 7.7s. A) what is it acceleration?

- Two metal balls collided with other and moved away in oppo direction. The silver metal ball v 185N and the gold metal ball w 160 N. Given that the first ball ho velocity of 2.50(m)/(s), what is the velocity of the second ball?arrow_forwardWhich statement is true? O Average velocity can be zero when average speed is not. O Average velocity is always positive. O Speed describes how fast and in what direction an object is moving. O Average speed is the same as average velocityarrow_forwardQuesuvI Z VETJ Points: 2 Kim is waiting for the results of her physics exam.
