A car initially at rest starts moving with a constant acceleration of 0.5ms^-2 and travels a distance 25 cm .calculate its final velocity and time taken.
Answers
Answer:
- Final velocity = 0.5m/s
- Time taken = 1 second
Explanation:
According to the Question
It is given that
- Initial velocity ,v = 0m/s
- Acceleration ,a = 0.5m/s²
- distance covered ,s = 25cm
we need to calculate the final velocity and the time taken by the car .
Firstly we calculate the final velocity of the car .
Coversion of Unit
→ distance = 25/100m = 0.25m
Using Kinematics Equation
- v² = u² + 2as
Putting Value we get
➻ v² = 0² + 2×0.5 × 0.25
➻ v² = 0 + 1 × 0.25
➻ v ² = 0.25
➻ v = √0.25
➻ v = 0.5m/s
- Hence, the final velocity of the car is 0.5m/s.
Now, calculating the time taken .
Using Kinematics Equation
- v = u + at
substitute the value we get
➻ 0.5 = 0 + 0.5 × t
➻ 0.5 = 0.5 × t
➻ 0.5/0.5 = t
➻ t = 1 s
- Hence, the time taken by the car is 1 second.
⚘ Question :-
- A car initially at rest starts moving with a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s² and travels a distance 25 cm. Calculate it's final velocity and time taken.
⚘ Answer :-
- Final velocity = 0.5 m/s
- Time taken = 1 second
⚘ Given :-
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
- Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²
- Distance travelled = 25 cm
⚘ To Find :-
- Final velocity (v) = ?
- Time taken (t) = ?
⚘ Solution :-
★ Calculating final velocity ::
- Using third eqⁿ of motion.
We know that,
✪ v² = u² + 2as ✪
Where,
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- a denotes acceleration
- s denotes distance travelled
We have,
- u = 0 m/s
- a = 0.5 m/s²
- s = 25 cm
- s (In m) = (25/100) m = 0.25 m
- v = ?
By plugging all values in eqⁿ we get,
⇒ v² = (0)² + 2(0.5)(0.25)
⇒ v² = 0 + 2 × 0.5 × 0.25
⇒ v² = 1 × 0.25
⇒ v² = 0.25
⇒ v = √0.25
⇒ v = √(0.5 × 0.5)
➠ v = 0.5 m/s
∴ Final velocity is 0.5 m/s.
Now,
★ Calculating time taken ::
- Using second eqⁿ of motion.
We know that,
✪ v = u + at ✪
Where,
- v denotes final velocity
- u denotes initial velocity
- a denotes acceleration
- t denotes time taken
We have,
- v = 0.5 m/s
- u = 0 m/s
- a = 0.5 m/s²
- t = ?
By plugging all values in eqⁿ we get,
⇒ 0.5 = 0 + (0.5)(t)
⇒ 0.5 = 0.5 × t
⇒ 0.5t = 0.5
⇒ t = 0.5/0.5
By canceling 0.5 with 0.5 we get,
⇒ t = 1/1
➠ t = 1 second
∴ Time taken is 1 second.

✧ Some important definitions ✧
- Acceleration
Acceleration is the process where velocity changes. Since, velocity is the speed and it has some direction. So, change in velocity is considered as acceleration.
- Initial velocity
Initial velocity is the velocity of the object before the effect of acceleration.
- Final velocity
After the effect of acceleration, velocity of the object changes. The new velocity gained by the object is known as final velocity.
