A truck starts to move from rest. If it gains an acceleration of 3 m/s^2 in 5 seconds, calculate the final velocity and distance covered by the truck. [Ans: 15 m/s, 37.5 m]
Added by Judith G.
Step 1
We are given the acceleration (a) and the time (t) it takes for the truck to reach that acceleration. We need to find the final velocity (v) and the distance covered (s). Show more…
