the velocity of a car traveling in the positive direction decreases from 32 m/s to 24 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the average acceleration of the ca rin this process ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=-2m/sec^2[/tex]

Negative sign shows that velocity of the car is decreases at a constant rate

Explanation:

We have given velocity of the car is decreases from 32 m /sec to 24 m/sec in 4 second

So initial velocity of the car u = 32 m /sec

And finally car reaches to a velocity of 24 m/sec

Time taken to change in velocity = 4 sec

So final velocity v = 24 m/sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So [tex]24=32+a\times 4[/tex]

[tex]a=-2m/sec^2[/tex]

Negative sign shows that velocity of the car is decreases at a constant rate
