Answer:
the car’s final displacement is 60 m
Explanation:
Given;
initail velocity of the car, u = 0
acceleration of the car, a = 0.8 m/s²
time of motion, t = 10 s
The first displacement of the car:
[tex]x_1 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.8)(10)^2\\\\x_1 = 40 \ m[/tex]
The second displacement of the car;
acceleration, a = 0.4 m/s², time of motion, t = 10 s
[tex]x_2 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\x_2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (0.4)(10)^2\\\\x_2 = 20 \ m[/tex]
The final displacement of the car;
x = x₁ + x₂
x = 40 m + 20 m
x = 60 m
Therefore, the car’s final displacement is 60 m
