Homework Statement
The maximum straight-line deceleration of a racing car under braking is 5 m s-2. What is the minimum stopping distance of the car from a velocity of 108 km h-1?
Homework Equations
½ V x t
The Attempt at a Solution
V = 108km/h=30m/s
t = 30/ 5 = 6 m s-2
½ V x t = ½ x 30 x 6 = 90
Answer: Distance = 90 m
___________
I found this formula ½ V x t (to determine stopping distance) on the internet, but I am not sure if its correct.
Are there any mistakes?
Thank You
