Answer:
Given:
Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s (Accelerates from rest)
Final speed (v) = 8 m/s
Time taken (t) = 3 seconds
To Find:
Distance travelled by cyclist (s)
Explanation:
From equation of motion of object moving with uniform acceleration in straight line we have:
By substituting value of v, u & t in the equation we get:
Distance travelled by cyclist (s) = 12 m
Answer:
s(distance) =36m
Explanation:
u(initial velocity) =0 m/s
a =8 m/s^2
t=3s
s=ut+1/2at^2
s=1/2(8)(3)^2
s=1/2(8)(3)(3)
s=4(9)
s=36m
