Answer:
Explanation:
Given,
Initial velocity of the scooter, u = 0 m/s
Distance covered by the scooter, s = 64 m
Time taken by the scooter, t = 4 seconds.
To Find,
Acceleration, a
Final velocity, v and,
At what time taken by scooter to cover half of the total distance.
Formula to be used,
1st equation of motion, i.e, v = u + at
2nd equation of motion, i.e, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Solution,
Putting all the values, we get
s = ut + 1/2 at²
⇒ 64 = 0 × 4 + 1/2 × a × (4)²
⇒ 64 = 1/2 × a × 16
⇒ 64 = 8a
⇒ 64/8 = a
⇒ a = 8 m/s².
Hence, the acceleration of the scooter is 8 m/s².
No, the Final velocity of the scooter,
v = u + at
⇒ v = 0 + 8 × 4
⇒ v = 8 × 4
⇒ v = 32 m/s.
Hence, the final velocity of the scooter is 32 m/s.
Now, time taken by scooter to covered half of the total distance,
s = ut + 1/2 at²
⇒ 64/2 = 0 × 4 + 1/2 × 8 × t²
⇒ 64 = 8t²
⇒ 64/8 = t²
⇒ 8 = t²
⇒ t² = 2√2 seconds.
Hence, the scooter covers half of the total distance in 2√2 seconds.
Answer. V=32 m/s.
