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
- A100 m
- B500 m
- C200 m
- D250 m
Correct answer
D. 250 m
Step-by-step solution
The initial velocity u = 0 m/s. The final velocity v = 180 kmh ⁻¹ . Converting v to m/s: v = 180 5 18 = 50 m/s . The time interval t = 10 s . Since the acceleration is uniform, the average velocity is u + v 2 = 0 + 50 2 = 25 m/s . The distance covered s = average velocity t = 25 m/s 10 s = 250 m . Answer: 250 m
