Answer:
Distance, x = 5.7 m
Explanation:
We have,
Acceleration of the car is -8.7 m/s²
It is required to find how far will the car travel while coming to a complete stop if its initial speed was 10 m/s. Using third equation of kinematics to find it as :
[tex]v^2-u^2=2ax\\\\x=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{(0)^2-(10)^2}{2\times (-8.7)}\\\\x=5.7\ m[/tex]
So, the distance covered by the car is 5.7 m.
