Question

.

Determine the acceleration of an object that can go from 0-60 m/s over the course of
1600 m.

Answer 1

1.125 m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• u = 0
• v = 60 m/s
• S = 1600 m

To Find:

• Acceleration (a)

Formula used:

• v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

where,

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

S = Displacement

Let the acceleration be a.

Using the above formula, we have

60^2 = 0^2 + 2(a)(1600)

3600 = 3200a

a = 36/32

a = 9/8

a = 1.125 m/s^2

So, the acceleration is 1.125 m/s^2.
