A vehicle accelerates uniformly form rest, from West to East, to a velocity of 60m/s in 40s .
Calculate acceleration
a = ∆v/∆t = (60m/s)/(40s) = 1.5 m/s^2
To calculate acceleration, we can use the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (rest)
Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s
Time (t) = 40 s
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
acceleration = (60 m/s - 0 m/s) / 40 s
Simplifying the equation:
acceleration = 60 m/s / 40 s
acceleration = 1.5 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the vehicle is 1.5 m/s².
To calculate the acceleration of the vehicle, we can use the equation:
acceleration = (change in velocity) / (time taken)
In this case, the change in velocity is from rest (0 m/s) to 60 m/s, and the time taken is 40 seconds.
Therefore, the acceleration can be calculated as:
acceleration = (60 m/s - 0 m/s) / 40 s
Simplifying the equation gives us:
acceleration = 60 m/s / 40 s
Dividing 60 by 40, we get:
acceleration = 1.5 m/s²
So, the acceleration of the vehicle is 1.5 m/s².
