Question: A car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 10m/s² from an initial velocity of 36km/hr for 30s. What is the covered distance during this period?

Answer:

Given data:

Acceleration of the car (a) = 10 m/s²,

Initial velocity of the car (u) = 36 km/h

Time of travelling (t) = 30 s


Step-1 To covert velocity in m/s from km/h.

As we know that 1 km/h = 1000/3600 m/s

Therefore,



Step-2 To determine distance travelled by the car within t = 30 s.
According to the equation of the constant acceleration motion. Distance travelled by the car can be written as,
 


Thus, the car will travel through 4800 m within 30 seconds.
