Answer:
200m
Explanation:
Velocity = displacement/time
V = s/t
Given
Velocity = 40m/s
Time = 5 secs
Therefore
40 = S/5
Cross multiply
S = 40 x 5
S = 200m
The vehicle travelled 200m before stopping
Answer: 100 m
Explanation:
Initial speed(u) = 40 m/s
Final speed(v) = 0 m/s
Acceleration = v-u/t
=> 0-40/5
=> 8 m/s^2
Displacement= s
=> 2as = v^2-u^2
=> 2(-8)(s) = 0 – (40)^2
=> -16s = -1600
s = 100 m
We can say the vehicle move 100 meters before stopping.
