Given:-

  • Acceleration ,a = 6m/s² (acting in opposite direction)
  • Final velocity ,v = 0m/s
  • Time taken ,t = 2s

To Find:-

  • Distance travelled ,s

Solution:-

According to the Question,

Firstly we calculate the initial velocity of the car .

By using Kinematics Equation

  • v = u + at

where,

  • v is the final velocity
  • a is the acceleration
  • u is the initial velocity
  • t is the time taken

Putting all the given value s we get

➺ 0 = u + (-6) × 2

➺ 0 = u -12

➺ -u = -12m/s

➺ u = 12m/s

So, the initial velocity of the car was 12m/s.

Now, calculating the distance covered by car . Again by using Kinematics Equation

  • v² = u² + 2as

Substitute the value we get

➺ 0² = 12² + 2×(-6) × s

➺ 0 = 144 + (-12) × s

➺ -144 = -12× s

➺ 144 = 12×s

➺ s = 144/12

➺ s = 12m

  • Hence, the distance covered by the car during this time is 12 metres.
