A car starts from rest and goes down a slope with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s^2. After 5 seconds, the car reaches the bottom of the hill. What is its speed at the bottom Of the hill, in meters per second?
Question: A car starts from rest and goes down a slope with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s^2. After 5 seconds, the car reaches the bottom of the hill. What is its speed at the bottom Of the hill, in meters per second?
Answer:
Given data:
Car starts from rest so the initial velocity of tge car (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration of the car (a) = 5 m/s²
Time required to reach at bottom (t) = 5 seconds
According to the uniform acceleration motion,
v = u + at
Here, v is the velocity of the car at the bottom
v = 0 + 5(5)
v= 25 m/s
Thus, the velocity of the car at the bottom is 25 m/s.
