A car stop in 150m. If it has an acceleration of -7m/s square, how long did it take to stop?

Answer:

final velocity squared = initial velocity squared + 2 * acceleration * distance

Since the car is coming to a stop, the final velocity is 0 m/s. The initial velocity is not given, so we assume it to be 0 m/s as well. The acceleration is -7 m/s^2 and the distance is 150 m.

Using the equation, we can solve for time:

0 = 0 + 2 * (-7) * 150

Simplifying the equation, we get:

0 = -2100

Since this equation has no solution, it means that the car cannot come to a complete stop with the given acceleration and distance.
