if the velocity of a car moving with uniform velocity changes from 25 m/s to 50 m/s in 10 second . a) what is the acceleration of the car .b) what is the displacement by the car during the time interval.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Given,
Final velocity, v = 50 m/s
Initial velocity, u = 25 m/s
Time, t = 10 seconds
To Find,
Acceleration, a
Displacement, s
Formula to be used,
1st equation of motion, i.e v = u + at
3rd equation of moton, v² = u² - 2as
Solution,
At 1st we will find acceleration,
Putting all the values, we get
v = u + at
⇒ 50 = 25 + a × 10
⇒ 50 - 25 = 10a
⇒ 25 = 10a
⇒ 25/10 = a
⇒ a = 2.5 m/s².
Hence, the acceleration is 2.5 m/s².
Now the displacement,
v² = u² - 2as
⇒ (50)² = (25)² - 2 × 2.5 × s
⇒ 2500 = 625 × 5s
⇒ 2500 - 625 = 5s
⇒ 1875 = 5s
⇒ 1875/5 = s
⇒ s = 375 m.
Hence, the displacement is 375 m.
✯ Given Data :
- Velocity of car moving with uniform velocity changes from 25 m/s to 50 m/s in 10 seconds.
✯ To Find :
- Acceleration of car and displacement by car during the time interval.
✯ Solution :
As we know that,
- Final velocity (v) = 50 m/s
- Intial Velocity (v) = 25 m/s
- Time (t) = 10 seconds
According to the questions :
We know the first equation of motion :
➜ v = u + at
Substituting the values :
➝ 50 = 25 + a × 10
➝ 50 – 20 = 10 a
➝ 25 = 10 a
➝ a = 25 /10
➝ a = 2.5
- So, the Acceleration (a) is 2.5 m/s².
We know the second equation of motion :
➜ s = ut + 1/2 at²
Substituting the values :
➝ s = 25 × 10 + ½ × 2.5 × 10 × 10
➝ s = 250 + 2.5 × 5 × 10
➝ s = 250 + 125
➝ s = 375
- So, The displacement of the car during the time interval is 375 meters.
