(a) How far in meters does she travel in the next 4.60 s? (Assume the deceleration of 2.10 m/s is constant over the full 4.60 s.)
(b) What is her final velocity in m/s?
(c)
Evaluate the result. Does it make sense?
The brakes are applied to a moving car, causing it to uniformly slow down. While slowing, it moves a distance of 40.0 m in 7.00 s to a final velocity of 2.05 m/s, at which point the brakes are released.
(a)
What was its initial speed (in m/s), just before the brakes were applied?
i have tried so many ways to solve this and i cant please explain
