hey guys can u help me how to solve acceleration problem?

OpenStudy (missmob):

yes i can wats the problem

OpenStudy (missmob):

well to find the acceleration you can use the formula acceleration=change in velocity/time taken

OpenStudy (missmob):

acceleration=initial velocity-final velocity/time taken

OpenStudy (missmob):

so did it help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the said constant velocity is it the same formula

OpenStudy (missmob):

wat do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

constant acceleration

OpenStudy (missmob):

do you want me to do you a problem

OpenStudy (missmob):

so you can understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah

OpenStudy (missmob):

q1)a car starts from rest .its velocity becomes 20ms-1 in 8s .find its acceleration.

OpenStudy (missmob):

solution: initial velocity=0 ms-1 (because the car is starting from rest) final velocity= 20 ms-1 time taken= 8s as a=vi-vf/t a=20ms-1-0ms-1/8s =2.5 ms-2 so the acceleration is 2.5ms-2

OpenStudy (missmob):

so r u good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (missmob):

can u give me a medal if i really helped u

OpenStudy (missmob):

please

OpenStudy (missmob):
