Answer:
- 0.25m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 40m/s
Final velocity = 30m/s
Time taken = 40s
Unknown:
Acceleration of the car = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
So;
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time }[/tex]
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{30 - 40}{40}[/tex] = - 0.25m/s²
This implies that the car will decelerate at a rate of 0.25m/s²
