A skier has an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. How long does it take her to come to a complete stop from a speed of 18 m/s?
a = 2.5 m/s²
since , we have to stop so v = 0 m/s ( final velocity)
u = 18 m/s
t = ?
using ,
⇒ v = u + at
⇒ 0 = 18 + 2.5t
by this we are getting t<0 , since , t cant be -ve , Check your question
