Question 20
An 10,000.0 kg truck starts off from rest and reaches a velocity of 16.1 m/s in 4.6
seconds.
What is the truck's accelerſation? Round your answer to one decimal.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf a = 3.5 \ m/s^2}$

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial velocity = $V_i$ = 0 m/s

Final velocity = $V_f$ = 16.1 m.s

Time = t = 4.5 seconds

Required:

Acceleration = a = ?

Formula:

$\displaystyle a = \frac{V_f-V_i}{t}$

Solution:

Put the given data in the above formula.

$\displaystyle a = \frac{16.1-0}{4.6} \\\\a = \frac{16.1}{4.6} \\\\a = 3.5 \ m/s^2\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}$
