    A cyclist traveling at 12 m/s applies her brakes and comes to a stop after traveling 36 meters in a straight line. Assuming uniform deceleration, the question asks to find the deceleration. Using the kinematic equations for uniform acceleration, the initial velocity is 12 m/s, final velocity is 0 m/s, distance is 36 m, and acceleration is the unknown. Plugging into the equation v^2 = u^2 + 2as, the deceleration is calculated to be -2 m/s^2.

    Exercise B, Question 3

    Question:
    A cyclist travelling at 12 m s 1 applies her brakes and comes to rest after travelling 36 m in a straight line. Assuming that the brakes cause the cyclist to decelerate uniformly, find the deceleration.

    Solution:

    u = 12,v = 0,s = 36,a = ? v2 = u2 + 2a s 02 = 122 + 2 a 36 = 144 + 72a a =


    144 72

    = 2

    The deceleration is 2 m s 2.
