A car accelerates uniformly over a distance of 100m
Calculating the acceleration of the car
A car starts from the rest and accelerates uniformly for 5 seconds over a distance of 100m. We can use the formula:
S = a*t²/2
where S is the distance, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.
Plugging in the values:
a = 2*S / t² = 2*100 / 5² = 200 / 25 = 8 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the car is 8 m/s².
What is the formula used to calculate the acceleration of the car in this scenario? The formula used to calculate the acceleration of the car in this scenario is S = a*t²/2.
