A tram moving at a speed of 12m / s starts braking which is equal to its stopping distance if it stops after 8s.

To find the value of the stopping distance of the tram under consideration, we use the formula: S = (Vn – Vk) * t / 2 = (Vn – 0) * t / 2.

Variables: Vн – initial speed of the tram (Vн = 12 m / s); t is the duration of inhibition (t = 8 s).

Calculation: S = Vн * t / 2 = 12 * 8/2 = 48 m.

Answer: The braking distance of the tram in question is 48 meters.
