Question

An object accelerates at a=20m/s/s and reaches a final speed of v=5m/s. How is this possible? *

A)Trick question, it has to reach 20m/s at a minimum
B) It accelerated for 0.25s
C) Something slowed it down.

Answer 1

B) It accelerated for 0.25s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration = 20 m/s²

Final velocity, v = 5 m/s

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

To find the time, we would use the first equation of motion;

V = u + at

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5 = 0 + 20t

5 = 20t

Time, t = 5/20

Time, t = 0.25 seconds
