Question
Skid marks at the scene of an accident indicate that a car took 55 m to stop. Assuming that the car slowed down uniformly at a rate of 8.0 m/s2, answer the following questions:
a) How fast was the car going before it started to stop? Report your final answer in miles/hour.
b) How long did it take the car to come to a stop? Report your answer in seconds.
Please provide work :)

Field testing has revealed the following information: 1) The tank moves from rest to a speed of 70 km/hr in 10 seconds. 2) Using the breaking system, the tank is brought to a complete stop from a speed of 70 km/hr in 5 seconds. You are required to address all the questions below providing all calculations, graphs, and explanations as appropriate to back your answers. First: Motion of the tank: a) Find the average driving acceleration of the tank. b) Calculate the average breaking acceleration of the tank. c) For parts (a) and b above parts report your answers in US Customary Units (mile/hr) so that the information could be shared with experts from the US.arrow_forwardSOLVE STEP BY STEP IN DIGITAL FORMAT 14.
