Martin rides his motorcycle at 20 m/s. suddenly he sees a row of stones
blocking the road 170 m ahead. He applies the brakes and the motorcycle is
decelerated at 2 m/s?. Justify will he be able to stop in time?

Respuesta :

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Given

Martin initial speed is [tex]u=20\ m/s[/tex]

Stones is at 170 m ahead

Deceleration [tex]a=2\ m/s^2[/tex]

Using the equation of motion [tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

Insert the values

[tex]0-20^2=2\times (-2)s\\s=\dfrac{400}{4}\\\\s=100\ m[/tex]

So, it took 100 m to stop completely. Hence martin will be able to stop in time.
