Spotting a police car ahead, the driver of the car in the previous example slows from `32 m//s` to `20 m//s` in 2 sec. Find the car's average acceleration.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the average acceleration of the car, we can use the formula for average acceleration: \[ \text{Average Acceleration} (a) = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta T} \] Where: - \(\Delta V\) is the change in velocity ...
