A rocket car experiences an acceleration of 10.0 m/s2. If the car starts from rest, how far will it travel in the first 5.00 sec ?

A Rocket Car Experiences An Acceleration Of 100 Ms2 If The Car Starts From Rest How Far Will It Travel In The First 500 Sec class=

Sagot :

We will have the following:

We remember that the distance for a linear accelerated motion is given by the expression:

[tex]d=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

Here "d" is the distance, "vi" is the initial velocity (In our case it starts at rest so 0 m/s), "t" is the time and "a" is the acceleration at which the object is subjected, so:

[tex]d=(0m/s)(5.00s)+\frac{1}{2}(10.0m/s^2)(5.00s)^2\Rightarrow d=125.0m[/tex]

So, the distance the car travels in those 5 seconds is 125.0 m.
