Question

A car accelerates at 2 meters/s/s. Assuming the car starts from rest how far will it travel in 10 seconds

Answer 1

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

If you accelerate at 2 m/s^2 for 10 seconds, at the end of the 10 seconds you are moving at a rate of 20 m/s.

V(f) = V(i) + a*t

Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time

Your average velocity will be half of your final, because you accelerated at a constant rate. So your average velocity is 10 m/s.

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Answer 2

100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

Time ( t ) = 10 sec s

To find : Displacement ( s ) = ?

By 2nd equation of motion,

s = ut + at^2 / 2

= ( 0 ) ( 10 ) + ( 2 ) ( 10 )^2 / 2

= 0 + ( 2 ) ( 100 ) / 2

= 200 / 2

s = 100 m
