Question

a bicycle accelerates at 1 m/s² from an initial velocity of 4 m/s² for 10s. Find the distance moved by it during this interval of time?​

Answer 1

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

Acceleration, $a=\frac {v-u}{t}$ where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting $1 m/s^{2}$ for a,  4 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

1*10=v-4

v=14 m/s

From kinematic equations

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

Making s the subject then

$s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}=\frac {14^{2}-4^{2}}{2\times 1}=90 m$
