Question

A car is running at a velocity of 50 miles/hour and the driver accelerates the car by 10miles/hour.How far the car travels from this point in next 2 hours.If the acceleration is constant?l

Answer 1

the distance travelled is 120 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

initial velocity u = 50 miles/hour
acceleration a = 10 miles/hour
Time t = 2 hours
Distance travelled S = ut + (at^2)/2
Substituting the values in the second equation of motion,
S = 50*2 + (10 * 2 *2)/2
S = 100 + 20
S = 120 miles
Therefore the distance travelled by the car in the next two hours is 120 miles
