An object initially moving 10 m/s accelerates for 6 seconds. If it moves 134 m, find the acceleration.
A. 49.3 m/s^2 B.1.02 m/s^2 C.4.11 m/s^2 D.6.17 m/s^2

Answer:

Acceleration of the object is 4.11 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex].

Given:

Initial velocity = 10 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Time = 6 second

Distance = 134 meter

To find:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Formula used:

s = u t + [tex]\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}[/tex]

Where s = distance covered by object

u = initial velocity of the object

t =  time taken by object

a = acceleration of the object

Solution:

According to second equation of motion the distance of the object is given by,

s = u t + [tex]\frac{1}{2} a t^{2}[/tex]

Where s = distance covered by object

u = initial velocity of the object

t =  time taken by object

a = acceleration of the object

134 = 10 (6) + [tex]\frac{1}{2} a (6)^{2}[/tex]

134 - 60 = 18 a

74 = 18 a

a = [tex]\frac{74}{18}[/tex]

a = 4.11 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

Hence, acceleration of the object is 4.11 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex].
