Question

While passing a slower car on the highway, you accelerate uniformly from 20.1 m/s to 33.2 m/s in a time of 10.6 s. How far do you travel during this time?

Answer 1

282 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.1 m/s

v = 33.2 m/s

t = 10.6 s

Find: Δx

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (33.2 m/s + 20.1 m/s) (10.6 s)

Δx ≈ 282 m
