Answer:
Time, t = 4.8 seconds
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial velocity of the car, u = 24 m/s
Acceleration of the car, [tex]a=-5\ m/s^2[/tex]
When the brakes are applied, v = 0
Let t is the time required by the car to stop it. It can be calculated using the formula of the acceleration as :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}[/tex]
[tex]t=\dfrac{0-24}{-5}[/tex]
t = 4.8 seconds
So, the time required to bring the car to a stop is 4.8 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
