A car accelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2. If its original speed is 8 m/s, how many seconds will it take the car to reach a final speed of 25 m/s?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\Large \boxed{\mathrm{5.67 \ seconds }}[/tex]

Explanation:

[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{acceleration \ = \ \frac{final \ velocity - initial \ velocity }{elapsed \ time}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle A \ = \ \frac{V_f - V_i }{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 3 \ = \ \frac{25 - 8 }{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle 3 \ = \ \frac{17 }{t}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle t \ = \ \frac{17 }{3} \approx 5.67[/tex]
