A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 metre per second square.What distance will it cover in 10 s after start?
Answers
Answer:
Distance covered till 10th s is 200 m
Distance covered in 10th s is 38 m
Explanation:
Let the initial velocity be u.
Using the equations of motion :
S = ut + (1/2)at^2
Distance covered in 10 second is :
S = u( 10 ) + (1/2)(4)(10)^2 m
= 10u + 2(100) m
= 10u + 200 m
Distance covered in 9 second is :
= u( 10 ) + (1/2)(4)(9)^2 m
= 10u + 2(81) m
= 10u + 162
Distance covered in 10th second :
distance till 10 sec - distance till 9 sec
= 10u + 200 - ( 10u + 162 ) m
= 200 - 162 m
= 38 m
Initial velcoity (u) = 0 m/s
Time (t) =10 sec
uniform acceleration (a) =4m/s²
Distance (s) =?
From Newton's 2ⁿᵈ equation of motion:
s=ut+1/2at²
=0x10+1/2x4x(10)²
=2x100
=200m.
∴Distance it will cover in 10sec after start is 200m.
