A 1000-kilogram truck accelerates uniformly from rest, reaching a speed of 50 meters per second in 10 seconds. During the 10 seconds, the truck has traveled a distance of

250 m

Explanation:

1. First, we have to calculate the acceleration:

where:

v = present velocity

vo = initial velocity

a = acceleration

t = time

2. Let us use given information and substitute in the expression above. Hence:

3. Now we can calculate traveled distance with Torricelli's equation:

where:

v = present velocity

vo = initial velocity

a = accelerarion

d = distance

4. So, we get:

Conclusion: during 10 seconds the truck has traveled a distance of 250 m.

Have a nice day! : )
