Felipe drives his car at a velocity of 28 m/s. He applies the brake, which slows the vehicle down at a rate of 6.4 m/s2 and causes it to slow to a stop. How long does it take for the car to stop? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

Explanation:

Use the one-dimensional equation

[tex]v_f=v_0+at[/tex] where v is the final velocity, v0 is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time it takes to reach that final velocity. We are solving for t. Filling in the other values:

0 = 28 + (-6.4)t and

-28 = -6.4t so

t = 4.4 seconds

Answer:

4.4
