Question

you are driving on highway 2 to yakima and want to pass a slow truck in front of you. your current velocity is 25 m/s, to pass him you accelerate to 40 m/s in 4 seconds. what is your acceleration during this time?

Answer 1

3.75 m/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

u = 25 m/s

v = 40 m/s

t = 4 s

Find: a

v = u + at

40 m/s = 25 m/s + a (4 s)

a = 3.75 m/s²
