Question

a car starts from rest and travels for 5.0s with a uniform acceleration of 1.5 m/s^2. what is the final velocity of the car? how far does the car travel in this time interval

Answer 1

V = u + at
u = 0 
v = 0 + 1.5*5
v = 7.5 m/s
final velocity is 7.5 m/s

s = ut + 0.5at^2
s = 0 + (0.5*1.5*5^2)
s = (0.5*1.5*25)
s = 18.75 m
total travel distance is 18.75 m.
