Answer:
D. 5.7 m
Explanation:
The acceleration of the car is -8.7 m/s² and the car has an initial speed (u) of 10 m/s. The car said to come to rest, that means that the final velocity (v) of the car is 0 m/s.
To find the distance traveled by the car (s) before complete stop, this equation is being used:
v² = u² + 2as
[tex]2as=v^2-u^2\\s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\ Substituting:\\s=\frac{0-10^2}{2*-8.7}\\ s=\frac{-100}{17.4}\\ s=5.7\ m[/tex]
The car traveled 5.7 m before coming to a complete stop
