Motion Mathematical physics
Starting from rest a car speed of 45 km/h in 2 minutes. Find the acceleration and the distance transversed by this time.
Solution:
Here, initial velocity u = 0
time t = 2 minutes = 120 second
final velocity v = 45 km/h
acceleration a =?
distance S =?
We know, v = u + at^2
⇒ a = (v - u) /t^2
⇒ a = (12.5 - 0)/120^2
⇒ a = 0.104 ms^-2
Now,
S = ut + (1/2)at^2
= 0×120 + (1/2)×0.104 ×120^2
= 0 + 748.8 m
= 748.8 m
acceleration of the car is 0.104 ms^-2
and the distance transversed by this time is 748.8 m
