BRAINCAKEConstant Acceleration Question 1
Question: a car accelerates uniformly from 5.0 m s-1 to 25 m s-1 over a distance of 100 m. Calculate (a) its acceleration and (b) the time taken.
Step 1: list the suvat quantities. Write down what you know and what you want.
s = 100 m, u = 5.0 m s-1, v = 25 m s-1, a = ?, t = ?
