Question

A rocket starts from rest and gains a velocity of 20 m/s accelerating at a rate of 0.2 m/s². Find the distance covered.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1000 m or 1 km

Explanation

Using the kinematic equation

v^2 - u^2 = 2aS

(20m/s)^2 - (0m/s)^2 = 2(0.2m/s^2) x S

400m^2/s^2 = 0.4 m/s^2 x S

S = 400m^2/s^2 / 0.4 m/s^2

S = 1000 m
