A car travels with a velocity of 5 ms. It then accelerates uniformly and travels a distance of 50 m. If the velocity reached is 15 ms ', find the acceleration and the time to travel this distance. please answer this question in a good way
Answers
Explanation:
As per the provided information in the given question, we have :
Initial velocity, u = 5 m/s
Distance covered, s = 50 m
Final velocity, v = 15 m/s
We have to find the acceleration and time taken.
By using the 3rd equation of motion,
➛ v² — u² = 2as
v denotes final velocity
u denotes initial velocity
a denotes acceleration
s denotes distance
➛ (15)² – (5)² = 2 × a × 50
➛ 225 – 25 = 100a
➛ 200 = 100a
➛ 200 ÷ 100 = a
➛ 2 m/s² = a (Answer)
Now, by using the 1st equation of motion,
➛ v = u + at
v denotes final velocity
u denotes initial velocity
a denotes acceleration
t denotes time
➛ 15 = 5 + 2t
➛ 15 – 5 = 2t
➛ 10 = 2t
➛ 10 ÷ 2 = t
➛ 5 seconds = t (Answer)
Therefore, acceleration of the car is 2 m/s² and time taken by the car is 5 seconds.
hope this is correct
