The speed of the material point within 10s increased from zero to 8.0m / s to determine the acceleration (0.8m / s2)

The acceleration of a given material point can be expressed from the velocity formula for uniformly accelerated motion:

V = V0 + at, where V is the final speed of the material point (V = 8 m / s), V0 is the initial speed of the material point (V0 = 0 m / s), t is the specified time of movement (t = 10 s).

V = at; a = V / t.

Let’s do the calculation:

a = V / t = 8/10 = 0.8 m / s2.

Answer: The acceleration of a material point is 0.8 m / s2.
