1 Approved Answer

A truck drives a distance d = 2 6 . 6 m in the positive x direction in a time t 1 = 2 1

A truck drives a distance d=26.6 m in the positive x direction in a time t1=21.2 s, at which point the truck brakes, coming to rest in t2=9.23 s.
 A: What was the trucks average velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, during the t1 time period? 
 B: Assuming the truck started from rest and moved with a constant acceleration, what was the acceleration, in meters per squared second, during time interval t1? 

C: What was the trucks instantaneous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking?

D: Using the result from Part (c), what was the trucks horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
