Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4m/s square. What distance will it cover in 10 seconds after the start?
Question: A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4m/s². What distance will it covering 10 seconds after the start?
Uniform acceleration a = 4 m/s²
Initial velocity u= 0 m/s
Time t = 10 sec.
Velocity v after 10 sec= u + a t = 0 m/s + 4 m/s² × 10 s =40 m/s.
We shall calculate the distance covered by all possible methods
Using Average Velocity:
Initial velocity u= 0 m/s
Final velocity v= 40 m/s
Average velocity= ½( u +v) = ½ ( 0+40)= 20 m/s
Time= 10 s
Distance covered in 10 s= av. vel. × time= 20m/s × 10s = 200 m
Using the relation s = u t+ ½ a t²
u = 0 m/s, a = 4 m/s², t= 10 sec.
s = 0×10 + ½ 4× 10² = 200 m
Using the relation v² - u² = 2 a s,
u = 0 m/s, v= 40 m/s, a= 4 m/s²
s = 1/2 a ( v² - u²)= 1/2×4 ( 40² - 0²) = 1/8(1600–0)= 1600/8= 200 m.
So all relations give the same results as it should.
Hey Mate!
Here is your answer
===============================
here initial velocity=u
final velocity=v
acceleration=a
time=t
u=0
a=4
t=10
use the first equation of motion i.e -v=u+at
v=0+40
v=40m/s
now use third equation of motion i.e-2as=v^2-u^2
2*4*s=1600
s+1600/8=200m
===============================
