Question

The speed of an object undergoing constant acceleration increased from 8.0 meters per second to 16.0 meters per second in 10. Seconds . How far does the object travel during the 10. Seconds

Answer 1

v₀ = initial speed of the object = 8 meter/second

v = final speed of the object = 16 meter/second

t = time taken to increase the speed = 10 seconds

d = distance traveled by the object in the given time duration = ?

using the kinematics equation

d = (v + v₀) t/2

inserting the above values in the above equation

d = (16 + 8) (10)/2

d = 120 meter
