Question

A truck heading east has an initial velocity of 6 m/s. It accelerates at 2 m/s2 for 12 seconds. What distance does the truck travel in the given time?

Answer 1

distance=216m
please mark as brainliest.

Answer 2

As per the question, the truck is heading towards east.

The initial velocity of the truck [ u] = 6 m/s

The acceleration of the truck a $=\ 2\ m/s^2$

Let the distance travelled by  the truck is s.

The time taken to travel  that distance t = 12 seconds.

From equation of kinematics we know that-

                                         $s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

                                               $=6*12+\frac{1}{2}2*12^2$

                                               $=72+144\ m$

                                               $=216\ m$   [ans]
