Question

A circle starting from rest accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 8 metre per second square for 10 seconds how far does the cyclist travel during this time?​

Answer 1

Answer:

400 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 8 m/s²

u = 0 m/s

t = 10 s

By 2nd equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2 a t²

s = 0 + 1/2 × 8 ×10×10

s= 4 × 10×10

distance covered ,s = 400m

Answer 2

Answer:

400 m

Explanation:

Given,

Cycle Acceleration, a = 8 m/s²

Time, t = 10 seconds

Apply kinematic equation of motion,

s = ut + (1/2) at²

 = 0 + (1/2) * 8 * 10²

= 400 m

Therefore,

Cyclist travel 400 m.
