Explanation:
Given that,
Initial speed of a car, u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s
Acceleration, a = 2m/s²
Final speed, v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s
We need to find the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance.
acceleration = rate of change of velocity
[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{33.33 -16.67 }{2}\\\\t=8.33\ s[/tex]
let the distance be d.
[tex]d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\frac{33.33^{2}-16.67^{2}}{2(2)}\\\\d=208.25\ m[/tex]
Hence, the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance is 208.25 m and 8.33 seconds respectively.
