2.If a ball is rolled across level ground with an initial speed of 20 ft/s, and if the speed of the ball is decreasing at a rate of 6 ft/s2 due to friction, how far will the ball roll?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

initial speed, u = 20 ft/s 

finalspeed, v = 0 

a = - 6 ft/s2

 

Step 2

Formula used: 

The third equation of motion is given by 

v2 = u2 + 2as 

where, u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, s is the distance, a is the acceleration.
