Q. A car doing 126 km/h $v_{0} = 126$ km/h brakes steadily and comes to rest $v_{1} = 0$ m/s in 200 m $Δ x = 200$ m. How long does it take to stop, in seconds?

v_{0}

126 km/h

distance

Δ x

200.00 m

Outputs

time

Δ t

The solution

Solved with UniformAcceleration

Given

$v_{0} = 126$ km/h
$Δ x = 200$ m
$v_{1} = 0$ m/s from “comes to rest”

Assumed

$x_{0} = 0$ m

Find $Δ t$ .

Working

$v_{0} = 126$ km/h $= 35$ m/s
change of position(stopping) $Δ x = x_{1} - x_{0}$
$200 = x_{1} - 0$
$x_{1} = 200$ m
velocity after a distance(stopping) ${v_{1}}^{2} = {v_{0}}^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot (x_{1} - x_{0})$
$0^{2} = 35^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot (200 - 0)$
$a = −3.0625$ m/s²
velocity after a time(stopping) $v_{1} = v_{0} + a \cdot Δ t$
$0 = 35 + (−3.0625) \cdot Δ t$
$Δ t = 11.43 s$
$Δ t \approx 11.4$ sto 3 significant figures

Conclusion

The car slows down at a steady rate until it stops, so the time to stop is the distance over the average speed.
