Answer:
[tex]a=-1.388\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Initial velocity of car, u = 50 km/h = 13.88 m/s
It stops, v = 0
Time, t = 10 s
We need to find the car's deceleration while slowing down. As the car is slowing down, it will have deceleration. It can be calculated as follows :
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-13.88 }{10}\\\\a=-1.388\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the deceleration of the car is [tex]1.388\ m/s^2[/tex].
