Question

A car start from rest and reached with a speed of 20m/s in 9seconds calculate the acceleration of the car and calculate the displacement covered in this time ​

Answer 1

Hi there!

Acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt, so:

a = 20/9 ≈ 2.22 m/s²

Displacement:

We can use the equation Δd = v₀t + 1/2at² to solve. (Initial velocity is 0).

Δd = 1/2at²

Plug in the acceleration and time:

Δd = 1/2(2.22)(9)² ≈ 89.91 m
