Answer:
[tex]a=2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of the car, u = 14 m/s
Finally, it comes to rest, v = 0
Time, t = 5.6 s
We need to find the average acceleration of the car during this time interval. We know that,
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-14}{5.6}\\\\a=-2.5\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the car is [tex]2.5\ m/s^2[/tex] in the opposite direction of motion.
