medium📝 Analysis Q4 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Use formula time = speed / acceleration
Time to reach speed = 50 mm/s ÷ 800 mm/s² = 0.0625 s.Step 2: Calculate and confirm units
Units cancel correctly, result is in seconds.Final Answer:
Time to reach speed is 0.0625 seconds -> Option AQuick Check:
Time = speed/acceleration = 0.0625 s [OK]
Quick Trick: Time to speed = speed divided by acceleration [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Multiplying instead of dividing
- Mixing units or ignoring units
