Question

A car traveling with an initial velocity of 15m/s² to the east accelerates with a value of 2.75m/S² within 20 seconds. What is the distance covered by the car?

Answer 1

To calculate the distance covered by the car, we can use the following equation:

Distance = Initial Velocity × Time + (1/2) × Acceleration × Time^2

Given: Initial Velocity (u) = 15 m/s Acceleration (a) = 2.75 m/s² Time (t) = 20 s

Plugging in these values into the equation, we have:

Distance = (15 m/s) × (20 s) + (1/2) × (2.75 m/s²) × (20 s)^2

Simplifying the equation:

Distance = 300 m + (1/2) × 2.75 m/s² × 400 s² Distance = 300 m + 550 m Distance = 850 m

Therefore, the distance covered by the car is 850 meters.
