Question

2. A truck speeds up from a velocity of 6 m/s to 14 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the trucks acceleration? SHOW YOUR WORK

Answer 1

#2

As it is given here

initial speed is

$v_i = 6 m/s$

After 4 seconds the final speed is

$v_f = 14 m/s$

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{14 - 6}{4}$

$a = 2 m/s^2$

so here it will accelerate at 2 m/s^2 rate.

#3

As it is given here

initial it starts from rest

$v_i = 0 m/s$

After 2.5 seconds the final speed is

$v_f = 15 m/s$

so here we can use the formula of acceleration using kinematics

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{15 - 0}{2.5}$

$a = 6 m/s^2$

so here it will accelerate at 6 m/s^2 rate.

i think question is not correct as in first line it is saying about a bag of trash and then in next line it is asking for the position of Jumper and bridge.
