The body moves uniformly with no initial velocity. How long will it move in the same direction

The body moves uniformly with no initial velocity. How long will it move in the same direction as at the initial moment, if V0x = 20 m / s, ax = -4 m / s?

To find the duration of the body’s movement in the original direction until it stops (movement in the opposite direction), we will use the formula: t = (V – V0х) / a.

Variable values: V – final speed (V = 20 m / s); V0х – speed at the beginning of time counting (V0x = 20 m / s); a – acceleration (a = -4 m / s2).

Calculation: t = (V – V0х) / a = (0 – 20) / (-4) = 5 s.

Answer: The body will move in the original direction for 5 seconds.
