9 A skier travelling in a straight line up a hill experiences a constant deceleration. At the bottom of the hill, the skier has a speed of 16ms- and, after moving up
the hill for 40 s, he comes to rest. Find:
a the deceleration of the skier
b the distance from the bottom of the hill to the point where the skier comes to rest.

a) deceleration = 0.4 m/s^2

b) distance = 320m

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

using formula a = (v-u)/t,

acceleration a = unknown (deceleration is the negative of acceleration)

final velocity v = 0 m/s (rest)

initial velocity u = 16 m/s

time t= 40s.

a = (0-16)/40

a = -0.4

Hence deceleration = 0.4 m/s^2

b)

Use formula v²-u² = 2as

distance s = unknown

0²+16² = 2(-0.4)(s)

s = 320m
