A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of 180 kmh ⁻¹ in 10 ~s . The distance covered by the car in this time interval is
Options
- A500 m
- B250 m
- C100 m
- D200 m
Correct answer
B. 250 m
Step-by-step solution
Speed of car, v=180 kmh ⁻¹=50 ~ms ⁻¹ and time, t=10 ~s Acceleration of the car, a= v-u t = 50-0 10 =5 ~ms ⁻² Thus, the distance covered by the car, s= 1 2 a t^2= 1 2 5 (10)^2=250 ~m
