Close enough, and that's exactly the correct approach. Since the velocity doubled, the stopping distance would be 2^2 = 4 times as great for the same acceleration.public_enemy720 said:I used the equation v^2=Vo^2+2(a)(S-So) and solved for acceleration, then plugged in new value for initial velocity and used the found acceleration. Is this correct?
accel. = -16.3m/s^2
distance traveled @ 14 m/s = 6.01 m
A braking system problem is any issue that affects the function and safety of a vehicle's brakes. This can include issues with the brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, or master cylinder.
Signs of a braking system problem include squeaking or grinding noises when applying the brakes, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibrations or pulsations when braking, and a longer distance required to come to a complete stop.
Regular maintenance and inspections of your vehicle's braking system can help prevent problems from occurring. This includes checking the brake fluid levels, replacing brake pads and rotors when necessary, and having a professional mechanic inspect the system for any potential issues.
It is not recommended to drive with a braking system problem as it can be dangerous and increase the risk of accidents. It is important to address any issues with the braking system immediately and avoid driving until it has been repaired.
The cost to fix a braking system problem can vary depending on the specific issue and the make and model of the vehicle. It is best to consult with a professional mechanic for an accurate estimate of the cost.
