A ball is rolling with a constant acceleration of 13 m/s starting from rest. How long will it take to increase its velocity to a final speed of 62 m/s? ​

Time taken : 4.77 s

Further explanation

Given

a = 13 m/s²

vf = final velocity = 62 m/s

Required

time taken

Solution

An equation of uniformly accelerated motion


\large {\boxed {\bold {x=xo+vo.t+\frac {1} {2} at ^ 2}}}

vf = vo + at

vf² = vo² + 2a (x-xo)

x = distance on t

vo / vi = initial speed

vt / vf = speed on t / final speed

a = acceleration

Input the value :

vo =0 ⇒from rest

vf=at

62 m/s = 13 m/s².t

t = 62 : 13

t = 4.77 s
