The first one is
It takes 40sec for a car at rest to reach a velocity of 50 m/s. What is the car's initial velocity?
a. 0 m/s
b. 1.25 m/s
c. 1.25 m/s2
d. 50 m/s
e. 50 m/s2
I think the equation is a=v(final)-v(intial)/t
but it can't be because doesn't a(acceleration)= m/s2?
so there for you don't have the number acceleration to plug in??
Also I think I think v(final) is 50 m/s... and I don't knbow but if something
is at rest then wouldn't that be v(intial)?? Please help! I am so confused! OMG
I really need to know this for a upcoming test
The next one is.

I know the answer for this one but what is confusing me is that I have to choices for this answer and they are
A. 1.25 m/s
B. 1.25 m/s2
could you explain to me which one is right and how did you come to get that
this is how I solved this problem
I used a=v(final)-v(initial)/t(time)
The v(final) is 50m/s and the v(initial) is 0 because the car started at rest.
and the t is 40 (because its in seconds
I subtracted 50-0 then divded it by 40.
Last but not least:
A car starts from rest has a constant acceleration of 4m/s2. In the first 3s the car travels
a. 6m
b. 12m
c. 18m
d. 172m
I really do not understand this one. Do you use the acceleration formula.
PLEASE HELP! I went to tutoring at my university and they didn't know how to do them either! So help me smart people lol.
Thank you in advance!
