Question

Atruck gradually starts off from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s s it teaches a velocity of 16m/s using the equation v2 u2 +2as calculate the distance it travels while it is accelerating

Answer 1

as initial velocity=0 ms⁻¹ = u

final velocity = 16 ms⁻¹ = v

a = 2ms⁻²(acceleration)

Using v²-u²=2as

put in values

(16)²-(0)² = 2(2)×s

16x16 = 4s

s=(16x16)÷4

s= 64metres
