Question

a car accelerates from 2 m/s to 28m/s at a constant rate of 3 m/s^2. How far does it travel while accelerating?

Answer 1

Distance, S = 130m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 2m/s

Final velocity = 28m/s

Acceleration = 3m/s²

To find the distance, we would use the third equation of motion.

V² = U² + 2aS

Substituting into the equation, we have;

28² = 2² + 2*3*S

784 = 4 + 6S

6S = 784 - 4

6S = 780

S = 780/6

Distance, S = 130m
