Answer:

the time it took Charilanda to get to the truck is 3s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of Charilanda, u = 2 m/s

final velocity of Charilanda, v = 5 m/s

acceleration of Charilanda , a = 1 m/s²

let her time of motion = t

[tex]a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\t = \frac{v-u}{a} \\\\t = \frac{5-2}{1} \\\\t = 3 \ s[/tex]

Therefore, the time it took Charilanda to get to the truck is 3s.
