A truck travels on a straight road at a velocity of 17 meters per second. Over 20 seconds, it accelerates uniformly to 27 meters per second. What distance did the truck

travel during this acceleration?

Distance, S = 440 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 17m/s

Time, t = 20 seconds

Final velocity, v = 27m/s

To find the distance;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the truck.

Acceleration = (v-u)/t

Substituting the given values into the equation, we have;

Acceleration = (27 - 17)/20

Acceleration = 10/20

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

Now, we would use the second equation of motion to find the distance traveled.

S = ut + ½at²

S = 17*20 + ½*0.5*20²

S = 340 + 0.25*400

S = 340 + 100

S = 440m
