Question: A commuter backs her car out of her garage with an acceleration of 1.4 m/s² (a) How long does it take her to reach a speed of 2.00 m/s
Answer:
1.43 s
Explanation:
Applying,
a = (v-u)/t........... Equation 1
Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time
make t the subject of the equation
t = (v-u)/a........... Equation 2
From the question,
Given: v = 2 m/s, u = 0m/s (from rest), a = 1.4 m/s²
Substitute into equation 2
t = (2-0)/1.4
t = 1.43 s
