Answer:

1.8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

[Since, it is at rest. ]

  • Acceleration (a) = 0.0075 m/s²
  • Final velocity (v) = 0.0135 m/s²

We are asked to calculate time taken to reach a speed of 0.0135m/s.

By using the first equation of motion,

→ v = u + at

  • v denotes final velocity
  • u denotes initial velocity
  • a denotes acceleration
  • t denotes time taken

Substituting values,

→ 0.0135 = 0 + 0.0075t

→ 0.0135 = 0.0075t

→ 0.0135 ÷ 0.0075 = t

→ 1350000 ÷ 750000 = t

→ 135 ÷ 75 = t

→ 1.8 = t

→ Time taken = 1.8 seconds

Therefore, it takes 1.8 seconds to reach a speed of 0.0135m/s.
