Answer:
1. The final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s
2. The distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m
Explanation:
1. Determination of the final velocity
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Time (t) = 5 s
Final velocity (v) =?
The final velocity of the truck can be obtained as follow:
v = u + at
v = 0 + (3 × 5)
v = 0 + 15
v = 15 m/s
Therefore, the final velocity of the truck is 15 m/s
2. Determination of the distance travelled
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s²
Time (t) = 5 s
Distance (s) =?
The distance travelled by the truck can be obtained as follow:
s = ut + ½at²
s = (0 × 5) + (½ × 3 × 5²)
s = 0 + (½ × 3 × 25)
s = 0 + 37.5
s = 37.5 m
Therefore, the distance travelled by the truck is 37.5 m
Answer: A. vector
Explanation:
Movement is the change of position of a body at a certain time. The body that experiences this change of position is called mobile.
In this sense, the <u>displacement</u> is the distance in a straight line between the initial and final position of this mobile, which differentiates it from <u>the trajectory, </u> which is the <u>path followed by the body in its movement and a scalar magnitude.</u>
Hence, the displacement is a vector.
