Question

A car accelerates uniformly from 18km /hr to 36km/hr in 5 sec calculate the acceleration and the distance covered by the car in that time

Answer 1

Here is ur ans:-
Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Time
Change in Velocity = 36-18 = 18 km/h=5 m/s
Time= 5 Seconds
Acceleration = 5/5= 1 m/s2

Equation of motion,s=ut+(1/2)at2
u=18 km/h=5 m/s
t=5 s
a=1 m/s2
s= (5*5)+(1/2*1*5*5)
s=25+12.5 i.e., s=37.5 m
