Question

Consider a car that is initially traveling along a straight stretch of highway at 15 m/sm/s. At t=0t=0 the car begins to accelerate at 2.0 m/s2m/s2 in order to pass a truck. The final velocity is vx=25m/svx=25m/s. Calculate how far the car travels during its 5.0 ss of acceleration.

 

ax = 2.0 m/s?
Vox = 15 m/s
OTt = 0
t= 5.0 s
Transcribed Image Text:ax = 2.0 m/s? Vox = 15 m/s OTt = 0 t= 5.0 s
Expert Solution
Step 1

SOlution:

Given that

initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

final velocity, v = 25 m/s

acceleration, a = 2 m/s2

time t = 5 s
