A car starts to move from rest and covers a distance of 360m in one minute. Calculate the acceleration of the car.

Respuesta :

The acceleration of car is 0.2 ms⁻²

Explanation:

When the car moves , the distance covered is calculated by the relation

S = u t + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] a t²

In this question u = 0 , because car was at rest initially

Thus S =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] a t²

here S is displacement and a is the acceleration of car

Therefore  360 =  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] a ( 60 )²

Because time taken is one minute or 60 seconds

Therefore a = [tex]\frac{360x2}{3600}[/tex]

or a = 0.2 m s⁻²
