- I am having trouble finding the average velocity of a truck in a problem. The problem states, "A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0 m/s. Then the truck travels for 60.0 s at constant speed until the brakes are applied, stopping the truck in a uniform manner in an additional 5.00 s."
