Question

A jeepney from rest accelerates uniformly over a time of 2 seconds and covers a distance of 20 m. Determine the acceleration of the jeepney.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 m per second

Explanation:

distance covered in 2 second= 20m

distance covered in 1 second = 20/2 = 10

therefore 10 n per second

Answer 2

Answer:

The uniform acceleration is found to be $10m/s^2$.

Explanation:

We are given that the jeepney travels 20 metres in the span of 2 seconds.

Thus, the distance, the jeepney will be travelling in a span of 1 second will be:

$\frac{20}{2}=10$

Thus, the jeepney will be travelling a distance of 10 metres in 1 second. We know the unit of the acceleration is $m/s^2$.

As the given acceleration is constant/uniform, so, the acceleration will be

$10m/s^2$.
