Answer:
1.) 1620 km/h^2
2.) 2.7 km
Explanation:
1.) Given that the car start from rest. The initial velocity U will be equal to zero. That is,
U = 0.
Final velocity V = 54 km/h
Time t = 2 minute = 2/60 = 1/30 hour
Acceleration a will be change in velocity per time taken. That is,
a = ( V – U )/ t
Substitute V, U and t into the formula
a = 54 ÷ 1/30
a = 54 × 30 = 1620 km/h ^2
2.) Distance travelled S by the car during the time can be calculated by using the 2nd equation of motion.
S = Ut + 1/2at^2
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
S = 54 × 1/30 + 1/2 × 1620 × (1/30)^2
S = 54/30 + 810 × 1/900
S = 54/30 + 810/900
S = (1620+810)/900
S = 2430/900
S = 2.7 km.
Therefore, distance travelled by the car during this time is 2.7 km
