A car slows from 20 m/s to 5 m/s in 3 s. What is its acceleration?
Choose an option to check your answer.
Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.
(5-20)/3 = -5 m/s².

Use s=ut+½at² with u=0.
S=½×2×25 = 25 m.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Use s=ut+½at².
S=10×5+½×2×25 = 50+25 = 75 m.

Use v²=u²+2as.
100-16 = 42a, so a=2 m/s².

Centripetal acceleration changes the direction of velocity.
It always points radially inward.

At maximum height, final vertical velocity is zero.
0=20-10t gives t=2 s.

Centripetal force is not a separate force type.
It may be supplied by tension, friction, gravity, or another force.

Use v²=u²-2gh with v=0.
0=400-20h, so h=20 m.

A particle in translational equilibrium has no acceleration.
It may be at rest or moving at constant velocity.
