Answer:
a)
Explanation:
- Since the car speeds up at a constant rate, we can use the kinematic equation for distance (assuming that the initial position is x=0, and choosing t₀ =0), as follows:
- Since the car starts from rest, v₀ =0.
- We know the value of t = 5 sec., but we need to find the value of a.
- Applying the definition of acceleration, as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time, and remembering that v₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, we can solve for a, as follows:
- Replacing a and t in (1):
- Now, if the truck slows down at a constant rate also, we can use (1) again, noting that v₀ is not equal to zero anymore.
- Since we have the values of vf (it's zero because the truck stops), v₀, and t, we can find the new value of a, as follows:
- Replacing v₀, at and t in (1), we have:
- Therefore, as the truck travels twice as far as the car, the right answer is a).
initially, the car is traveling at 5.0 m/s.
so, we know acceleration for changing velocity is :
a = (v-v)/t ..........(i)
where v is the final velocity
v is the initial velocity
t is the time taken to change velocity
Now, as per the question :
initial velocity, v=5.0 m/s
final velocity, v =11 m/s
time taken, t = 3 s
putting the values in equation (i),
a = ( 11-5 )/3
a = 2 m/s²
Therefore, a, after 3 s, is <em>2 m/s².</em>
