a = (v - u) / t An object has an a = (v - u) / t = (16
initial velocity of 10 - 10) / 3 = 2 m/s²
m/s. It accelerates
constantly for 3
seconds until it
reaches a final
velocity of 16 m/s.
What is the
acceleration?
s = d / t An object travels 12 m s = d / t = (12 +
in 4 s and then 12 m 12) / (4 + 2) = 4 m/s
in 2 s. What is the
average speed?
F = ma A 2 kg object F = 10 - 6 = 4 N; F =
experiences a 10 N ma => 4 = 2a => a = 2
force from the right m/s²
and a 6 N force from
the left. What is the
acceleration?
