A Tesla Roadster car accelerates from rest at a rate of 7.1m/s for a time of 3.9s
Calculate the distance it travels in this time.

Respuesta :

The distance covered is 54.0 m

Explanation:

Since the motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

[tex]s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

where

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the car in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

[tex]a=7.1 m/s^2[/tex] is the acceleration

t = 3.9 s is the time

Substituting, we find s:

[tex]s=0+\frac{1}{2}(7.1)(3.9)^2=54.0 m[/tex]
