You're driving on a straight road (in the x direction) at a constant speed of 28 m/s. In 10 seconds, you speed up to 37 m/s to pass a truck. (a) Assuming your car speeds up at a constant rate (constant force by the road on the tires), what is your average x component of velocity vavg, x during this maneuver

The average component velocity is 32.5 m/s

Explanation:

v = u +at bhjklj kj h

x = (u + v / 2 )t

Average velocity is given by

From the question,

Initial speed, u = 28 m/s

Final speed, v = 37 m/s

Time, t = 10 secs

From the formula

where is the displacement

Put the given values into the equation to find the displacement

Now, for the average component velocity

Hence, the average component velocity is 32.5 m/s
