    How Fast Was the Car Going Based on Skid Marks and Deceleration?

    thanks again for your help. i'm looking up how to integrate acceleration to find the velocity, I've came across this: http://www.ugrad.math.ubc.ca/coursedoc/math101/notes/applications/velocity_14.gif is this what i need to be doing? I'm not sure which values i substitute in where from my...

    How Fast Was the Car Going Based on Skid Marks and Deceleration?

    how stupid of me. it is actually an s yes. looks like an 8 on the printed sheet but i got the pdf off the website and zoomed in. :redface: ok so i have: 7m/s^2 what do i integrate that in respect to?

    How Fast Was the Car Going Based on Skid Marks and Deceleration?

    thanks for the quick reply. :smile: i think the lecturer wants us to go for the 2nd option out of the 2 (which would explain why he gave the hints about how the above are related). sorry if I'm being stupid but I'm really confused about how to do it. if i integrate the acceleration i...

    How Fast Was the Car Going Based on Skid Marks and Deceleration?

    A car was involved in an accident. There are skid marks of 40m and the car has a constant deceleration of 7m/(8^2) when braking. How fast was the car traveling when it started braking? (Not actual question I'm trying to solve, but very similar) Hint: f(x)= location f′(x) = speed f′′(x) =...
