Answer to Question #256798 in Mechanics | Relativity for margaux

Question

1. A bus initially with a speed of 25 m/s slows down with an acceleration of -3 m/s2. How far does it travel before coming to a complete stop?

Answer 1

Solution.

$v=25 m/s;$

$a=-3 m/s^2;$

$S -?;$

$S=\dfrac{v^2-v_0^2}{2a};$

$S=\dfrac{0-625}{-6}=104.17m;$

Answer: $S=104.17m.$
