Charilanda is jogging at 2 m/s when she sees the ice cream truck. She speeds up at a rate of 1 m/s/s. When she reaches the truck, she is going 5 m/s. How long does it take to get to the truck?

Sagot :

Answer:

the time it took Charilanda to get to the truck is 3s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of Charilanda, u = 2 m/s

final velocity of Charilanda, v = 5 m/s

acceleration of Charilanda , a = 1 m/s²

let her time of motion = t

[tex]a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\t = \frac{v-u}{a} \\\\t = \frac{5-2}{1} \\\\t = 3 \ s[/tex]

Therefore, the time it took Charilanda to get to the truck is 3s.
