Answer :
Answer:
The distance traveled by the truck is 200 m.
Explanation:
The expression for the equation of motion is as follows;
[tex]S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
Here, u is the initial speed, t is the time, a is the acceleration and S is the distance.
According to the given problem, an ice cream truck is moving along at 20m/s (it's initial velocity.) It then speed up (accelerates) for 5 seconds at 8 meter per second square.
Calculate the distance.
Put u= 20 meter per second, t= 5 s and a= 8 meter per second square in the above expression.
[tex]S=(20)(5)+\frac{1}{2}(8)(5)^{2}[/tex]
S= 100+ 100
S = 200 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the truck is 200 m.
