Question

a care starting from rest has an acceleration 0.3 m/s square, calculate the velocity and distance travelled by this car after 2 minutes?

Answer 1

Final velocity (v) = 36 m/s

Distance traveled (s) = 2,160 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = 0.3 m/s

Time travel (t) = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Find:

Final velocity (v) = ?

Distance traveled (s) = ?

Computation:

v = u + at

v = 0 + 0.3(120)

v = 0.3(120)

v = 36 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 36 m/s

Distance traveled (s) = ut + (1/2)at²

Distance traveled (s) = (0.5)(0.3 × 120 × 120)

Distance traveled (s) = 2,160 m
