Answer:

79.8 is the answere

I hope this HELP :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, initial velocity is u=18.5m/s and final velocity is v=46.1m/s

Time taken t=2.47s

If a be the acceleration of the car.

Using v=u+at,

46.1=18.5+a(2.47)

⟹ a=11.17m/s

2

If d be the distance traveled by car.

Using formula v

2

−u

2

=2ad,

(46.1)

2

−(18.5)

2

=2(11.17)d

⟹ d=79.8m
