And ice cream truck is going 25 m/s to the east it accelerates to 40 m/s in the same direction over three seconds what is it acceleration

Sagot :

V=Vo+at        (velocity=initial velocity plus acceleration multiplied by time)

40m/s=25m/s+a(3s)
-25      -25

15m/s=a(3s)    divide by 3s on both sides
5m/s^2=a

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity of the truck, u = 25 m/s

Final speed of the truck, v = 40 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 s

We need to find the acceleration of the truck. It can be calculated using formula as :

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}[/tex]

[tex]a=\dfrac{40-25}{3}[/tex]

[tex]a=5\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the acceleration of the truck is 5 meter per second square. Hence, this is the required solution.
