- At time t = 0, a car has a velocity of 16 m/s. The brakes are applied so the car decelerates at 2 m/s2. The car will stop after:arrow_forwardA basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this he lowers his body 0.28 m then accelerates through this distance b forcelly straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.92 m above the floor. For this problem use a coordinate system where up is positive. A) Calculate his velocity when he leaves the floor in m/s B) Calculate his acceleration in m/s2, while he is straightening his legs.He goes from zero to the velocity found in part(a) in a distance of 0.28 m C) Calculate the magnitude of the force he exerts on the floor to do this, in newtons, given that his mass is 112kgarrow_forwardAn object accelerates at 4m/s2 due to a 20N force applied to it.
