A tie fighter is traveling around naboo with a velocity of 607 m/s. the tie fighter slows down at a rate of -7.5m/s^2 for 14.6 s. how far did the tie fighter travel while slowing?



Answer :

We can find the distance covered by the tie fighter from the formula :

                               =>  [tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Here S = Distance, u = Initial Velocity, t = Time taken, a = Acceleration

It is given that, u = 607m/s, t = 14.6s, a = -7.5 m/s^2

The negative Acceleration means it is a case of Slowing down.

Putting values into the equation,

                               => S = (607)*(14.6) + (1/2)*(-7.5)*(14.6)^2

                               => S = 8862.2 + (-799.35)

                               => S = 8062.85

The total distance traveled while slowing is: 8062.85m
