Given:
Final velocity: 25 m/s
Initial Veloicity: 0 m/s
Acceleration: 5 m/s^2
Determine the time in seconds.
Formula for acceleration:
a = change in v /t
t =change in v/a
Solution:
Substitute the given values of change in v and a in order to find t.
t = 25 m/s - 0 m/s / 5 m/s^2
t = 25 m/s / 5 m/s^2
t = 5 seconds
Final answer:
t = 5 seconds
