Question

5. A car accelerates from rest down a highway at 6 m/s2 for 5 seconds. What distance did the car travel during acceleration?

Answer 1

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The distance x for a uniform acceleration is given by the equation:

$x = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}+v_ot+x_o$

The given values are:

a = 6 m/s², t = 5 s, v₀ = 0, x₀ = 0
