Answer:
a = 2 [m/s^2]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the expressions of kinematics, we must bear in mind that when a body is at rest its velocity is zero.
[tex]v_{f} = v_{i} - (a*t)[/tex]
where:
Vf = final velocity = 0
Vi = initial velocity = 60 [m/s]
a = desacceleration [m/s^2]
t = time = 30 [s]
Note: the negative sign of the above equation means that the car is slowing down, i.e. its speed decreases.
0 = 60 - (a*30)
a = 2 [m/s^2]
