Question

2(a)

A car accelerates from 22ms^-1 to 43ms*-1 in 18.6 seconds.
(a) Calculate the acceleration of the car.
2(b)
Find the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds.

2(c) Find the velocity after 5 seconds.

Answer 1

2a.

a=1.13ms^-2

2b.

S=277m

2c.

V=27.7ms-¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Velocity (U)=22m/s¹

Final Velocity (V)=43m/s²

Time(t) =18.6s

a. a=V-U/t

a=43-22/18.6

a=1.129

a=1.13m/s²

2b.

S=ut+1/2 at²

s=22(10)+1/2×1.13(10)²

s= 220+0.57(10)²

s= 220+0.57(100)

s= 220+57

s=277m

2c.

V=U+AT

V=22+1.13(5)

V=22+5.65

V=22+5.7

V=27.7m/s¹
