A body started to move from rest and with uniform acceleration 1.6m/s^2 Calculate the final velocity and distance travelled by a body in 2 minutes |
|
Answer» Answer: Given : ▪ Initial velocity of BODY=zero ▪ Acceleration of the body=1.6m/s To FIND : ▪ Velocity and distance travelled by the body in 2min. Formula used : ▪ Since, acceleration is constant THROUGHOUT the whole journey, we can apply equations of kinematics directly. ▪ FIRST equation of kinematics : ☞ v = u + at ▪ Third equation of kinematics : ☞ s = ut + (1/2)at^2 ▪ 2min = 120sec Calculation : Final velocity → v = u + at → v = 0 + (1.6)(120) → v = 192m/s Distance travelled → s = ut + (1/2)at^2 → s = 0(120) + [0.5×1.6×(120)^2] → s = 0.5×1.6×14400 → s = 11520m = 11.52km Explanation: |
