During the annual shuffleboard competition, Renee gives her puck an initial speed of 8.12 m/s. Once leaving her stick, the puck slows down at a rate of -3.06 m/s2. How long did it take to stop?

Respuesta :

The puck takes 2.65 s to stop

Explanation:

The motion of the puck is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

[tex]v=u+at[/tex]

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In this problem, we have

u = 8.12 m/s

v = 0 (the puck comes to a stop)

[tex]a=-3.06 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration

So we can solve the equation to find t, the time the puck takes to come to a stop:

[tex]t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-8.12}{-3.06}=2.65 s[/tex]
