Question

A pick up truck heading south accelerates from 0 m/s to 22 m/s in 8.5 seconds.what is the truck acceleration?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the truck, given it accelerated from 0 m/s to 22 m/s in 8.5 s is 2.59 m/s²

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

• Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
• Final velocity (v) = 22 m/s
• Time (t) = 8.5 s
• Acceleration (a) =?

How do I determine the acceleration?

The acceleration of the truck can be obtained as follow:

a = (v – u) / t

a = (22 – 0) / 8.5

a = 22 / 8.5

a = 2.59 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration of the truck is 2.59 m/s²
