Question

Calculate the acceleration for the following data: Initial Velocity=20 m/s, Final

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 3 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

$v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 60 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 20 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 10 [s]

Now replacing these values we have:

60 = 20 + (a*10)

60 - 20 = 10*a

30 = 10*a

a = 3 [m/s²]
