Answer 1

Question: A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.4 m/s² (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s

Answer:

1.43 s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t........... Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time

make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: v = 2 m/s, u = 0m/s (from rest), a = 1.4 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

t = (2-0)/1.4

t = 1.43 s
