Question

In 1970, a rocket powered car called Blue Flame achieved a maximum speed of 1.00(10 km/h (278m/s).Suppose the magnitude of the car's constant acceleration is 5.56 m/s^2. If the car is initially at rest , what is the distance traveled. During its acceleration?

Answer 1

Distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Wear have given maximum speed tat will be equal to final speed of the car v = 278 m/sec

Constant acceleration
`a=5.56m/sec^2`

As the car starts initially starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

From third equation of motion
`v^2=u^2+2as`

Putting all values in equation

`278^2=0^2+2* 5.56* s`

s = 6950 m

So distance traveled during this acceleration will be 6950 m
