A car is traveling at 22 m/s and slows to 4.9 m/s in 4.0 seconds. What is the acceleration? Give the answer to one decimal place.

Respuesta :

Answer:

a= - 4.2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that

u = 22 m/s

v= 4.9 m/s

t= 4 s

The average acceleration = a

We know v = u +at

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation

4.9= 22 + a x 4

[tex]a=\dfrac{4.9-22}{4}\ m/s^2[/tex]

a= - 4.2 m/s².

Therefore the acceleration will be - 4.2 m/s².

a= - 4.2 m/s².

Negative indicates that velocity and acceleration is is opposite direction.
