Answer:

1.) 1620 km/h^2

2.) 2.7 km

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Given that the car start from rest. The initial velocity U will be equal to zero. That is,

U = 0.

Final velocity V = 54 km/h

Time t = 2 minute = 2/60 = 1/30 hour

Acceleration a will be change in velocity per time taken. That is,

a = ( V - U )/ t

Substitute V, U and t into the formula

a = 54 ÷ 1/30

a = 54 × 30 = 1620 km/h ^2

2.) Distance travelled S by the car during the time can be calculated by using the 2nd equation of motion.

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

S = 54 × 1/30 + 1/2 × 1620 × (1/30)^2

S = 54/30 + 810 × 1/900

S = 54/30 + 810/900

S = (1620+810)/900

S = 2430/900

S = 2.7 km.

Therefore, distance travelled by the car during this time is 2.7 km
