A car is driving at a speed of 50 m/s. After 6 seconds he a wreck up ahead and slows down to 20 m/s. What was the acceleration?

Answerthe global climate during the paleogene departed from the hot and humid conditions of the late mesozoic era and began a cooling and drying trend which dispite having been periodically disrupted by warm periods such as the paleocene-eocene thermal maximum, persists today;

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
