Solution 2 on Equations of uniformly accelerated motion in 1D
Answer=C
According to the question,
- Initial velocity (vi) = 5 m/s
- Final velocity (vf) = 25 m/s
- Time (t) = 20 s
Acceleration is calculated as
$\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{V_{f}-V_{i}}{t}$
$\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{25-5}{20}$
∴ a = 1 m/s2
Thus, the acceleration of the truck is 1 m/s2.
