A car’s brakes decelerate it at a rate of -1.70 m/s2. What is the time, in seconds, required to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9.0 m/s?

t = 3.52 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The deceleration of a car is, a = -1.7 m/s²

The initial velocity of the car, u = 15 m/s

Final velocity of the car, v = 9 m/s

We need to find the time that is required to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9 m/s. The definition of acceleration is :

So, it will take 3.52 seconds to slow the car from 15 m/s to 9 m/s.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
