Question

A racing car accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. Determine the acceleration of the car and the distance travelled.

Solve with explanation.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hope you get the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here, initial velocity is u=18.5m/s and final velocity is v=46.1m/s

Time taken t=2.47s

If a be the acceleration of the car.

Using v=u+at,

46.1=18.5+a(2.47)

⟹ a=11.17m/s

2

If S be the distance traveled by car.

Using formula v

=2(11.17)S

⟹ S=79.8m
