Answer:
The car's initial velocity is 195.96 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
the length of the mark, x = 9.6 km = 9600 m
acceleration of the car, a = -2 m/s²
Apply the kinematic equation below
v² = u² + 2ax
where;
v is the final velocity = 0
u is the initial velocity
simplify the equation and you will obtain;
0 = u² + 2ax
0 = u² + 2(-2)(9600)
0 = u² - 38400
u² = 38400
u = √38400
u = 195.96 m/s
Therefore, the car's initial velocity is 195.96 m/s
