How to find displaement, speed and velocity?

In summary, a car traveling at a steady speed of 25m/s for 5.0s applies brakes and slows down at a rate of 5m/s^2 for 3.0s. After 6.0s with no additional braking, the velocity can be calculated after 3.0s of braking and the displacement during the total 14.0s of motion. The average speed for 14.0s can also be determined.

Homework Statement



A car initially traveling to the right at a steady speed of 25m/s for 5.0s applies its brakes and slows down at a constant rate of 5 m/s^2 for 3.0s. It then continues with no additional braking for another 6.0s. B) what is the velocity after 3.0s of braking? C) what was the displacement during the total 14.0s of its motion? D) What was the average speed for 14.0s?

FAQ: How to find displaement, speed and velocity?

What is displacement?

Displacement is the change in position of an object from its initial position to its final position. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.

How do you calculate displacement?

Displacement can be calculated by finding the difference between an object's final and initial position. This can be done by subtracting the initial position from the final position.

What is speed?

Speed is the rate at which an object is moving. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it has only magnitude and no direction.

How do you calculate speed?

Speed can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. The formula for speed is: speed = distance / time.

What is velocity?

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
