Answer:
(a) The acceleration of the car is 5 m/s²
(b) The distance covered by the car in that time is 30 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
initial velocity of the car, u = 36 km/h = 10 m/s
final velocity of the car, v = 72 km/h = 20 m/s
time for the motion, t = 2 seconds
(a) .The acceleration of the car;
v = u + at
[tex]a = \frac{v-u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{20-10}{2}\\\\a = 5 \ m/s^2[/tex]
(b) The distance covered by the car in that time
[tex]s = (\frac{v+u}{2} )t\\\\s = (\frac{20+10}{2} )*2\\\\s = 30 \ m[/tex]
