Question

A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4 m s⁻². What distance will it cover in 10 s after start?

Answer 1

Initial velocity of the racing car, u = 0 (since the racing car is initially at rest)

Acceleration, a = 4 m/s²

Time taken, t = 10 s

According to the second equation of motion:

Where, s is the distance covered by the racing car

Hence, the distance covered by the racing car after 10 s from start is 200 m.
