Answer:
The speed of the car after the break was applied is 90.46 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the car, u = 26.8 m/s
accelertation of the car, a = -8.2 m/s²
time of motion, t = 14.3 s
final velocity, v = ?
Apply the following kinematic equation;
v = u + at
v = 26.8 + (-8.2 x 14.3)
v = 26.8 – 117.26
v = -90.46 m/s
magnitude of the final velocity = 90.46 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the car after the break was applied is 90.46 m/s
