A truck is moving with a certain uniform velocity. It is accelerated uniformly by 0.75 m/s^2. After 20 seconds , the velocity becomes 72km/h.Find the initial velocity

Respuesta :

Answer:

Vi = 5 m/s

Explanation:

let (a) acceleration = 0.75 m/s²

(t) time = 20 seconds

Vf = final velocity = 72 km/hr  (convert to m/s to units consistency = 20 m/s)

find Initial velocity (Vi)

       Vf - Vi

a =  -----------

             t

Vi = Vf - (a * t)  = 20 - (0.75 * 20)

Vi = 5 m/s
