The car, approaching the slope, had a speed of 15 m / s and began to move with an acceleration
The car, approaching the slope, had a speed of 15 m / s and began to move with an acceleration of 0.5 m / s2. What speed will the car acquire in 0.5 min?
V0 = 15 m / s.
a = 0.5 m / s2.
t = 0.5 min = 30 s.
V -?
The acceleration of the body a shows how the speed of the body changes over time.
The acceleration of the body a is determined by the formula: a = (V – V0) / t, where V, V0 are the final and initial speed of movement, t is the time of speed change.
When the vehicle is moving up a slope: V = V0 – a * t.
V = 15 m / s – 0.5 m / s2 * 30 s = 0 m / s.
The vehicle will stop on an uphill slope.
When the vehicle is moving downhill: V = V0 + a * t.
V = 15 m / s + 0.5 m / s2 * 30 s = 30 m / s.
Answer: when driving on an upward slope, the car will stop; when moving upward, its speed will become V = 30 m / s.
