A racecar was going 60 m/s when it quickly came to a full stop at a pitstop in 8.0 sec. What was the acceleration of the dragster? Answer to the nearest hundredth

Respuesta :

You start by writing down your parameters;
u=60m/s
v=0
t=8s
So acceleration(a)=v-u/t
=0-60/8
=-60/8
=-7.5m/s
To the nearest hundredth will be
-7.5*100
=-750m/s
