OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula D=RT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes correct so you would divide what to get T by its self

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that -7.5 minutes per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my best guess would be 6 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i would do is use the formula that i showed you and plug in the numbers but just to make sure im not giving you the wrong answer im going to have my friend help you @Elsa213

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

A car moving with a speed of 108 km/h is brought to rest in a distance of 60 m. The car's acceleration is -7.5 m/s/s. How much time did the car take to stop? So the initial velocity of the car is 108 km/h and it's brought to rest in a distance of 60m and the cars acceleration is -7.5 m/s^2 t = ? Now we have the formula \[d= v_0 t + 1/2 at^2\] now put it together.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

No it doesn't, but this formula may be a bit too difficult for you atm as you would have to use quadratic formula, lets just make it simple on ourselves and use \[v_f = v_i + at\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Now solve for t

OpenStudy (chris215):

whats final and initial velocity thought

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You should be able to figure that out, I actually posted it above.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

The point of this problem is for you to figure out if you know all the quantities and what they mean.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Try setting it up, make sure you solve for t, and note that you have to convert your units to m/s!! Try it out and if you get it wrong, don't worry I will help you then.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Ok, so reading this question `A car moving with a speed of 108 km/h is brought to rest in a distance of 60 m.` Notice how it says the car is brought to REST in a distance of 60m, so it's final velocity = 0, as it's at rest, and initial is 108 km/h.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You have to convert the 108 km/h though to m/s

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

This is why I said we need to read it carefully earlier :P

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Right on, now solve for t.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yup 4s is good!

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Np :)
