A motorist is travelling on a curved section of highway of a radius 150 m at a speed of 4okph. The motorist suddenly applies the brake, causing the automobile to slow down at a constant rate. Knowing that after 10 seconds the speed of the car has been reduced to 20 kph. Find the normal component of acceleration 8 seconds after the brake has been applied in meters per square seconds. .

Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A motorist is about to enter the exit ramp of a highway. When it is 50m before reaching A (along the straight path), the motorist travels at 80km/h, decreasing at the rate of 0.5m/s2until it reaches B. After it reaches B, it travels at a constant speed. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration: just after A just before B just after B
