A car accelerates uniformly in a straight
line from rest at the rate of 3.3 m/s^2
What is the speed of the car after it has
traveled 60 m?
h
Answer in units of m/s.

how Long does it take the car to travel 60m?
answer in units of s

Respuesta :

Answer: see below

Explanation:

The intial speed is u=0[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The acceleration is a= 3.3[tex]\frac{m}{s}^2[/tex]

The distance is s=60m

Apply the equation of motion

[tex]v^{2}[/tex]=[tex]u^{2}[/tex]+2as

So,

[tex]v^{2}[/tex]=0+2*3.3*60=396

v=[tex]\sqrt{396}[/tex] = 19.89 m/s ≈20 m/s

Applying the equation of motion

v=u+at

t= [tex]\frac{v-u}{a}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{19.89-0}{3.3}[/tex] = 6.02seconds
