Question

racing car moving with constant acceleration covers two successive kilometres in 30 seconds and 20 seconds respectively find the acceleration of the car






​

Answer 1

initial velocity = u

acceleration = a

1000 = u(30) + 0.5a(30)²

1000 = 30u + 450a

velocity after covering 1 km = u + 30a

1000= (u+30a) (20) + 0.5a (20)²

1000= 20u + 800a

u = 35a

putting the value of u in above equation

so, a = 2/3
