Answer:

Acceleration (a) = 6 m/s²

Total distance travel by car(s) = 75 meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Final velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Time (t) = 5 sec

Find:

Total distance travel by car(s) = ?

Acceleration (a) = ?

​Computation:

v = u +at

30 = 0 + a(5)

30 = a(5)

Acceleration (a) = 6 m/s²

Total distance travel by car(s) = ut +1/2(a)(t)²

Total distance travel by car(s) = 1/2(a)(t)²

Total distance travel by car(s) = (0.5)(6)(5)²

Total distance travel by car(s) = 75 meter
