Q. A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 20 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the distance covered by the car during this time?
A.
100 m
B.
200 m
C.
300 m
D.
400 m
Show solution
Solution
Using the formula: distance = initial velocity * time + 0.5 * acceleration * time^2. Here, initial velocity = 0, final velocity = 20 m/s, time = 10 s. Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time = 2 m/s². Distance = 0 + 0.5 * 2 * 10² = 100 m.
