A body initially at rest is accelerated at a constant rate for 5.0 seconds in the positive x direction. If the final speed of the body is 20.0 m/s, what was the body's acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]a=4\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a body, u = 0

Final speed of the body, v = 20 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the body. We know that the acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity divided by time taken. So,

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{20-0}{5}\\\\a=4\ m/s^2[/tex]

So, the body's acceleration is equal to [tex]4\ m/s^2[/tex].
