Physics

To find the initial velocity of the truck, we can use the kinematic equation:

Where:

is the final velocity (0 m/s, since the truck comes to rest)

is the initial velocity (unknown)

is the acceleration (-4 m/s²)

is the displacement (50 m)

Rearranging the formula to solve for :

Substituting in the values:
