Given information
A car moving in a straight line starts at t=0
Passes the point with speed 11.0 m/s
a) The average velocity?
b) The average acceleration t=20.0 s?
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
a) We know that : the average acceleration defined as the displacement travelled divided by the time taken to make this displacement :
Where :
is the average acceleration of the car .
is the the time the car took to to change its velocity .
are the final velocity and the initial velocity of the car
are the finial and the initial position of the car .
From Givens we know that :
Plugging known information to get the velocity :
