A minivan is tested for acceleration and braking In the stre

A minivan is tested for acceleration and braking. In the street-start acceleration test, elapsed time is 8.2 s for a velocity increase from 10 km/h to 100 km/h. In the braking test, the distance traveled is 44 m during braking to a stop from 100 km/h. Assuming constant values of acceleration and deceleration, determine (a) the acceleration during the street-start test, (b) the deceleration during the braking test.

Solution

(a)

b)
