What is the average speed of the car over this section of its motion?arrow_forwardA car has acceleration of 1.20 m/s2 and starts from 2.50 m/s. What is its speed after 5.00 seconds, in m/s? Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed.arrow_forwardA motor car is moving with initial velocity in the x-direction at 30 m/s. After 30 s, the car applies its brakes steadily to slow down the car to a velocity of 10 m/s in 12 s. The continues onward for 10 s more. How far in m did the car travel for the full 52 s? Report your answer to three sig figs, you don't need to write "m". HINT: Break up the problem into three stages - 30s, 12s, and the final 10s. During the 12 s, you'll need the acceleration.arrow_forward
