Solve this : Mods And StarsA car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with constant acceleration of 5 m/s² for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from the rest? |
Answer» Given:A CAR starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with a constant ACCELERATION of 5 m/s² for 8 seconds. To Find:what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from rest. Solution:We know that, But given that, the initial velocity is zero. Therefore, the distance covered by the car in first 8 seconds is s = 180 metres Therefore, the velocity ATTAINED at the end of 8 seconds is: from, v = u + at =>V= 0 + 5 x 8 40 m/s Therefore, since the car has moved with constant velocity from 8th second to 12 second, the distance travelled is S = v × t = 40 x 4 = 160 m. Therefore, the total distance travelled is 160 + 160 = 320m.Hope it helps :) |
