The acceleration/deceleration of the truck is 11.56 m/s^2

Velocity and acceleration

  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement of a body.

Velocity = change in displacement/ time

  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/ time.

The acceleration, velocity and distance travelled of a body is related by the equation below:

  • v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where v is the initial velocity

u is the final velocity

a is the acceleration, and

s is the distance travelled

From the data provided:

v = 0

u = 34 m/s

s = 50 m

a = ?

making a subject of the formula

a = -u^2/2s

a = - 34^2 / 2 × 50

a = -11.56 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration/deceleration of the truck is 11.56 m/s^2
