A car moved initially with constant speed u=12m/s on a horizontal road.
Then the driver shut down the engine so that the car decelerated. The
car has a mass of 400KG and the frictional force on the car is 1600N.
Find out the displacement 6s after the engine was shut down.

ANS is 18m

By Newton 2nd law of motion,

f = ma

-1600 = 400a

a = -4 m/s^2 (-ve acceleration means deceleration)


Initial speed, u = 12 m/s

Acceleration, a = -4 m/s^2

Final velocity, v = 0

So, by v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(0)^2 = (12)^2 + 2(-4)s

s = 18 m

By s = (u + v)t/2

18 = (12 + 0)t / 2

t = 3 s

So, after 3 s the engine shut down, the car stops and has a displacement of 18 m.

Therefore, at 6 s after the engine was shut down, the displacement of the car is 18 m.

v^2-u^2=2as
12^2-0^2=2(1600/400)(s)
s=18m

1600/400 is becoz :
F=ma
a=F(force)/m(mass)
=1600/400

deceleration= 1600N/400KG =4m/s
time for car to get rest: 12/4 = 3s

displacement= area under the graph speed vs time
12m/s x 3s /2 =18m
