Homework Statement
A car initially traveling north at 35 m/s, brakes and turns to avoid an obstacle so
that 3 seconds later it is traveling northeast at 20 m/s. Find its average accelera-
tion during the period of braking and turning.
Homework Equations
acceleration=change in velocity/time taken(thank you Chi Meson)
The Attempt at a Solution
I got the vector components of the 20m/s vector and got Vx as 10m/s and Vy as 10 root 3 m/s.
I don't thinks it's as simple as 15m/s divided by 3s.Any help would be very appreciated.I don't know where to go from here.
I'm new here and I'd like to say hello to every member.
