Answer to Question 6
a The deceleration = 0 - 60 = - 60 ÷ 25 = -2.4 m s-2 25b Braking force = mass × acceleration = 5000 × -2.4 = 12 000 N c s = 60 × 25 + 1/2(-2.4 × 252) = 750 m. Did you remember to use the fact that the acceleration was negative?
b Braking force = mass × acceleration = 5000 × -2.4 = 12 000 N
c s = 60 × 25 + 1/2(-2.4 × 252) = 750 m.
