An object is moving at a velocity of 30 m/s. It accelerates to a velocity of 55 m/s over a time of 12.5 s. What acceleration did it experience? v = vo + at

Respuesta :

Given data:

*An object is moving at a velocity is v_0 = 30 m/s

*The given final velocity of an object is v = 55 m/s

*The given time is t = 12.5 s

The formula for the acceleration of the object is given by the equation of motion as

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=v_0+at \\ a=\frac{v-v_0}{t} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

[tex]\begin{gathered} a=\frac{55-30}{12.5} \\ =2m/s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the acceleration of the object is a = 2 m/s^2
