A body starts with a velocity of 20 m/s, accelerates uniformly for a time t, moves with constant velocity for the same time, and finally decelerates to rest, again taking a time t. Given that the final deceleration is three times the original acceleration, and the total distance travelled is 140 m, find t.

Answer:

t=0.14s

Step-by-step explanation:

  • t=

  • (s)/(v)
  • t=

  • (20)/(140)
  • Where s= speed
  • V=distance
  • And t=time
