Answer:

130.24m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question ,

  • Acceleration (a) = 2.4m/s²
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 90km/hr = 25m/s
  • Displacement = ?

Using the third equation of motion namely ,


\twoheadrightarrow 2as = v² - u²


\twoheadrightarrow 2(2.4m/s²) * s = (25m/s)² - 0²


\twoheadrightarrow s = 625m²s-²/2*2.4 m/s² .


\twoheadrightarrow s = 130.24 m

Hence the distance travelled during this interval is 130.24 m.
