Answer:
[tex]a=-3.37\ m/s^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
A car accelerates negatively from 35m/s to 8m/s in 8s.
We need to find the car's acceleration.
Initial speed, u = 35 m/s
Final speed, v = 8 m/s
Time, t = 8 s
The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]a=\dfrac{8-35}{8}\\\\a=-3.37\ m/s^2[/tex]
So, the acceleration of the car is equal to [tex]-3.37\ m/s^2[/tex].
