Final answer:
The acceleration of the car is 2.0 m/s² and the distance covered is 75. m.
Step-by-step explanation:
The acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Substituting the given values:
acceleration = (20. m/s - 10. m/s) / 5.0 s = 2.0 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 2.0 m/s².
To calculate the distance covered by the car, we can use the kinematic equation:
distance = initial velocity × time + (1/2) × acceleration × time²
Substituting the given values:
distance = 10. m/s × 5.0 s + (1/2) × 2.0 m/s² × (5.0 s)² = 50. m + 25. m = 75. m
Therefore, the car covers a distance of 75. m.
