A Speeding Car A car traveling at 15 m/s increases its velocity to 27 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate its...
answer:
12. A sled starts from rest and accelerates at 2.5 m/s² for 6 seconds. Calculate its final velocity.
answer:
Given: Initial velocity = 15 m/s, final velocity = 27 m/s, time = 4 s.
Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time:
a = (vf − vi) / t
a = (27 − 15) / 4 = 12 / 4 = 3 m/s2
Answer: The car’s acceleration is 3 m/s2.
Given: Initial velocity = 0 m/s (starts from rest), acceleration = 2.5 m/s2, time = 6 s.
For constant acceleration, final velocity is calculated using:
vf = vi + at
vf = 0 + (2.5 × 6) = 15 m/s
Answer: The sled’s final velocity is 15 m/s.
