Just this last one!! A car slams on its brakes creating an acceleration of -4.7 m/s^2. It comes to rest after traveling a distance of 235 m. What was its velocity before it began to accelerate?

Explanation:

s = displacement (m)

u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

a = acceleration

t = time (s)

s = 235

a = -4.7

v = 0

v² = u² + 2as

(0)² = u² + 2(-4.7)(235)

u² - 2209 = 0

u² = 2209

u = 47

Explanation:

We are asked to find the initial velocity of the car before it began to accelerate.

We are given the acceleration, distance, and final velocity, so we will use the following kinematic equation:

The car's acceleration is -4.7 meters per second square. It traveled a distance of 235 meters. It came to rest, or a final velocity of 0 meters per second.

Substitute the values into the formula.

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

Add -2209 to both sides of the equation.

Take the square root of both sides.

The inital velocity of the car was 47 meters per second.

the focus of lesson 1 is newton's first law of motion - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. newton's first law of motion is often stated as. an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

explanation:

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.
