a car starts from rest and moves along the x axis with constant acceleration of 5 metre per second for 8 seconds if it then continues to move with constant velocity what distance will the car cover in 15 seconds in started from rest

how fast is the car?

lets divide the qstn into 2 parts..
(1) the distance it travelled in the frst 8 sec
(2) the distance it travld inte next 4 secs..that is in total 12 sec.
(1) given,
u=0
a=5m/s^2
t=8s
using the eqn s=ut+1/2 at2,
s=0+(1/2)*5*(8^2)
s=160m..................this s d distnce travelled in 8 sec.
now while considering the 2nd part the final velocity in the frst becomes the initial in the sec.
find the final velocity. v=u+at..(not sure abt dis eqn....sry.)
u get v=40m/s.
in the secnd prt it is said that the body moves with uniform velocity. ie a=0
using the eqn s=ut+1/2at2,
u get s=(40*4)+0
s=160m.
thrfore the total distance travelled equals 160+160
=320m.
