Question

A moving car hits the breaks and starts to slow down. The car was moving 35 m/s when hitting the breaks and slows at a rate of 7 m/s/s. What is the final velocity of the car after 4 seconds?

Answer 1

7 miles per second.

It would take 5 seconds to stop because 35 divided by 7 = 5.

It would slow 28 miles in 4 seconds because 7 x 4 = 28.

35 - 28 = 7.
