Thank you for your reply... rasp is actually Grasp and its a method which was taught to me to somewhat organize your solutions.
G- givens
R- what's Required
A- The Analysis ie) eqns that will be used
S- The Solution where all the work is done
P- the paraphrase to answer the original...
Okay I tried to solve part b,c and d again...
b) G:DeltaV= -25m/s, DeltaT=25.0s
R: Accel
A: Accel= deltaV/deltaT
s: Accel= -25m/s / 25s = -1.0m/s^2
p: The avg acceleration of the car is -1.0m/s^2 during this interval.
c) G:Accel=-1.0m/s^2, Mcar=1542kg
R: Fair...
Oh okay thank you for clearing that up... I will be finishing my attemp at these questions and a bunch more later tonight/tomorrow morning and will post my conclusions.. thank you all for your help thus far.
Hi thanks for the input... I realize acceleration is m/s squared but I am not sure how to type the squared sign on the computer...
Also in the original question is says to asssume a frictionless surface so I don't think it is necessary to find the force of friction...
Hi I am getting into the section of Newtons laws and came across this question which I found difficult.
The question reads:
Roberta drives her 1452kg car along a straight, level road at a constant velocity of 30.0 m/s {E}. Her brakes suddenly give out. She puts the car in heutral and let's...
