A car travels at 100 km / h, collides head-on against a pole. Assuming the vehicle stopped at 2.2 seconds after impact, calculate the magnitude of the deceleration suffered by the driver.

Respuesta :

Answer:

12.6 m/s²

Explanation:

First, convert to m/s.

100 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 27.8 m/s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 27.8 m/s) / 2.2 s

a = -12.6 m/s²
