Question

A race car starts from rest and accelerates down a track at a rate of 3.0 m/s2

How fast is the car moving after 10 seconds?

Answer 1

30 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Initial Velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration of the Car (a) = 3 m/s²

Time Interval (t) = 10 seconds

Speed of the Car After 10 seconds:

From the First equation of motion:

v = u + at

replacing the given values

v = 0 + (3)(10)

v = 30 m/s

Hence, the car is moving at a velocity of 30 m/s after 10 seconds
