Question

Sara is riding her bike down the road at 35 km/hr. She starts to peddle faster as she

approaches and rides up a hill. She accelerates at 2.0 km/hr2 for 3.0 minutes before
reaching the top of the hill. How long distance) did it take her to get to the top of the
hill?​

Answer 1

Distance covered to top of the hill was : 1.755 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity = 35 km/hr

Acceleration = 2.0 km/hr²

Time taken to accelerate = 3 minutes = 3/60 hours = 1/20 hours

Formula for acceleration : a = Δv /t

v-u/t ---where u is initial velocity , v is final velocity and t is time taken for acceleration

v- 35 / 0.05 = 2

v = 35.10 km/h

Formula for distance is product of speed and time

Distance covered = 35.10 * 0.05 = 1.755 km
