Question

A car speeds up from rest to 40 m/s in 5 s. Find the car speed at 2 s and overall

distance traveled.

Answer 1

If a car goes from rest to 40 m/s in 5 seconds it means the acceleration is 8 m/s/s. After 2 seconds the speed is 16 m/s and the overall distance = 1/2 x 40 x 5 = 100m

Answer 2
