Question

1. An MR-2 starts from rest and accelerates westward to a speed of 27 m/s in

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 2.28 m/s²

b) 159.86 m

Explanation:

Part A:

u = 0 m/s

v = 27 m/s

t = 11.8 seconds

a = ?

Formula:

v = u + at

=> 27 = 0 + a(11.8)

=> 27 = a(11.8)

=> a(11.8) = 27

=> a = 27/11.8

=> a = 2.28 m/s²

Part B:

s = ?

Formula:

s = (v² - u²)/2a

s = (27² - 0²) /2(2.28)

  = 729/4.56

  = 159.86 m
