Answer:
41.02m
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity = 0m/s
Final velocity = 96km/hr
Time taken = 3.07s
Unknown:
Distance traveled by the time the final speed was achieved = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we first find the acceleration of the car;
Acceleration =
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Now convert the the final velocity to m/s;
96km/hr to m/s;
1 km/hr = 0.278m/s
96km/hr = 96 x 0.278 = 26.7m/s
Now;
Acceleration = = 8.69m/s²
So;
v² = u² + 2as
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance
26.7² = 0² + 2 x 8.69 x s
712.89 = 17.38s
s = 41.02m
