A car is moving with the initial velocity 15 m/s. Car stopped after 5s by application of breaks. Find the retardation (Decelaration).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

t = 5 s
v =0 m/s
u = 15 m/s
u = 15 m/s
a = ?
Substituting the values in the following equation.
v = u + at
0 = 15 + `(a xx 5)`
a = `(-15)/(5)`
a = - 3 `m//s^(2)`
