1. A truck speeds up from a velocity of 6 m/s to 14 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the truck’s acceleration?

hallm:

help

Shadow:

\[a = \frac{ v_{f} - v_{i} }{ time }\]

Shadow:

Acceleration is equal to the final velocity minus the intial velocity, which is then divided by the changw in time.

hallm:

wait im confused

Shadow:

Say a car starts with 2m/s and ends with 4m/s over 5 seconds \[Acceleration = \frac{ 4- 2}{ 5}\]

hallm:

so 2/5 and then 0.4

Shadow:

Correct. Do you see how to do your problem now?

Shadow:

(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity/(Time)

hallm:

yes sir i do

hallm:

can you help with a couple more problems i dont understand

Shadow:

sure
