Question

A van accelerates from a velocity of 2 m/s to a velocity of 20 m/s in 12 s.

Calculate the acceleration of the van.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

V₀ = 2 m/s

V = 20 m/s

Δt = 12 s

__________

a - ?

The acceleration of the van:

a = ΔV / Δt = (V - V₀) / Δt

a = (20 - 2) / 12 = 18 / 12 ≈ 1.5 m/s²
