A car traveling 56 km/h is 22.0 m from a barrier when the driver slams on the brakes. The car hits the barrier 2.03 s later.
(a) What was the car's constant deceleration before
impact?
m/s2
(b) How fast was the car traveling at impact?
m/s
First, you need to pass km/h to m/s:
56 km/h x 1000 m/km x 1h/3600 s = 15.56 m/s
Now, let's take all the data, calling "x" distance, and Vi = innitial velocity, Vf = final velocity.
a) to get acceleration, use the following equation:
x = Vixt + at2/2 ----> Then solve for a:
22 = 15.56 x 2.03 + (2.03)2 a /2
22 - 31.59 = 4.1209 a / 2
-9.59 x 2 / 4.1209 = a
a = -4.65 m/s2
b) Now with the value of acceleration, the Vf can be calculated with the following equations:
Vf = Vi + at -----or Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ax
You may use whenever you like the most. In this case, I'll use the first one:
Vf = 15.56 - 4.65x2.03
Vf = 6.1205 m/s
If you use the second equation, you should get the same result (or similar):
Vf = [(15.56)2 - (2x4.65x22)]1/2
Vf = (242.1136 - 204.6)1/2 = 37.51361/2
Vf = 6.1248 m/s
You can actually see, that both results are correct and very similar.

A driver is traveling at a speed of 70 km/h in car A when he looks down to text a friend that he is running late. Just before he looks down. he is 80 m from an intersection, and a bicydist B, traveling at a constant speed of 10m/s,s d= 40 m from that same intersection. The light turns red during the 3 s text, and when the driver looks up, he hits the brakes, causing a constant deceleration of...
A truck is traveling at a constant speed of 56.6 km/h . Suddenly, the driver sees a deer 24.0 m away and slams on the brakes. If the truck hits the deer 2.40 s after the driver slams on the brakes, what was the speed of the truck, in km/h, when the deer was struck? Assume motion was at constant acceleration.
