Answer :
The distance covered by the car as it comes to rest is 13 m.
To calculate the distance covered before the car come to stop, we use the formula below.
Formula:
v² = u²+2as............... Equation 1
Where:s = distance covered by the car
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration of the car
make s the subject of the equations
= (v²-u²)/2a........................Equation 2
From the question,
Given:
v = 50 mi/h = (50×0.447) = 22.35 m/su = 0
m/sa = 50 ft/s² = (50×0.3048)
= 15.24 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation
2s = (22.35²-0²)/(2×15.24)s
= 13m
Hence, the distance covered by the car as it comes to rest is 13 m.
