Question

A body starts with an initial velocity of 20 ms-1
and acceleration 5 ms-2
. Find the distance covered by it in 5 s.

Answer 1

$Given,$

$Initial \: Velocity \: u = 20 \: m \: {s}^{ - 1}$

$Acceleration \: a = 5 \: m \: {s}^{ - 2}$

$Time \: t = 5 \: s$

$Distance \: d = Speed \: v × Time \: t$

$d = v \times t$

$d = 20 \: m \: {s}^{ -1} \: \times 5 \: s$

$d = 20 \: \frac{m}{s} \times 5 \: s$

$d = 20 \: m \times 5$

$d = 100 \: m$
