Q4 of 58 Page 37

A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 ms-2. What distance it covers in 10 s after start?

Given: acceleration(a) = 4 ms-2


Time (t) = 10 s


Distance(s) = ?


To find distance covered in 10s, we use 2nd equation of motion


We have, initial velocity = 0 m/s


acceleration(a) = 4 ms-2


Time (t) = 10 s


s =


s = 010 + 1/2(4)


s = 200 m
