Answer:
a = - 0.3376 g's
Explanation:
The sports car has a constant speed when travelling. Covered 164 m in 13.77 s. Thus, speed = 164/13.77 m/s
It brakes and now comes to a stop in 3.6 s.
Thus final velocity = 0 m/s
Formula for acceleration is;
a = (v - u)/t
a = (0 - (164/13.77))/3.6
a = -3.308 m/s²
In terms of g's", where 1.00 g = 9.80 m/s², we have;
a = -3.308/9.8 g's
a = - 0.3376 g's
