A car accelerates from 6 ms –1 to 16 ms –1 in 10 sec. Calculate (a) the acceleration and (b) the distance covered by the car in that time.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Initial velocity = u

u = 6m/s

Final velocity = v

V = 16m/s

Time = t = 10 s

• Acceleration = a

a = (v-u) / t

= (16-6)/10

= 1 m/s²

• Distance = s

s =

= 110 m
