Question

  • A car accelerates at 2.90 m/s . Assuming the car starts from rest , how much time does it need to accelerate to a speed of 23.6 m/s ?


\underbrace{ \sf{Required \: Answer : }}

Given :

  • Initial velocity ( u ) = 0
  • Final velocity ( v ) = 23.6 m/s
  • Acceleration ( a ) = 2.90 m/s²

To find :

  • Time ( t )

✎ We know ,


\boxed{ \underline{ \sf{acceleration \: (a) \: = (final \: velocity \: (v) - initial \: velocity \: (u ))/(time \: ( \: t \: ))}}}

Substitute the values :


\sf{2.90 = (23.6 - 0)/(t)}


\sf{2.90 = (23.6)/(t)}

Apply cross product property


\sf{2.90 \: t \: = 23.6}

Divide both sides by 2.90


\sf{ (2.90 \: t)/(2.90) = (23.6)/(2.90) }


\sf{t = 8.13 \: seconds}

Hope I helped!

Have a wonderful time シ
