Answer:

the car have travelled 0.31 mile during that​ time

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying the Equation of motion;

s = 0.5(u+v)t

Where;

s = distance travelled

u = initial speed = 0 mph

v = Final speed = 50 mph

t = time taken = 3/4 min = 3/4 ÷ 60 hours = 1/80 hour

Substituting the given values into the equation;

s = 0.5(0+50)×(1/80)

s = 0.3125 miles

s ~= 0.31 mile

the car have travelled 0.31 mile during that​ time
