starting from rest 100m in 5s with uniform acceleration. Find the acceleration of the car
Answers
Answer:
Given:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (Starts from rest)
Displacement (s) = 100 m
Time taken (t) = 5 s
Explanation:
a → Acceleration
By substituting values in the equation we get:
Answer :
➥ The Acceleration of a car = 8 m/s²
Given :
➤ Distance travelled by a car = 100 m
➤ Time taken by a car = 5 sec
To Find :
➤ Acceleration of a car = ?
Required Solution :
❒ In the above Question, we are provided that A car is starting from rest 100m in 5s with uniform acceleration. That means Initial velocity is 0 m/s because the car starting from rest, Distance covered by a car is 100 m, and time taken by a car is 5 sec.
Now, we have also the Initial velocity of a car,
- Initial velocity of a car (u) = 0 m/s
We can find Acceleration of a car by using the second equation of motion which says s = ut + ½ at².
Here,
- s is the Distance in m.
- u is the Initial velocity in m/s.
- t is the Time taken in second.
- a is the Acceleration in m/s².
✎ So let's find Acceleration (a) !
⇛ s = ut + ½ at²
⇛ 100 = 0 × 5 + ½ a × 5²
⇛ 100 = 0 + ½ a × 25
⇛ 100 = 0 + 1 × a × 12.5
⇛ 100 = 0 + a × 12.5
⇛ 100 = 0 + 12.5a
⇛ 100 = 12.5a
⇛ 100/12.5 = a
⇛ 8 = a
⇛ a = 8 m/s²
║Hence, the Acceleration of a car is 8 m/s².║
