The car's speed was zero at the beginning of the 12 seconds,
and 18 m/s at the end of it. Since the acceleration was 'uniform'
during that time, the car's average speed was (1/2)(0 + 18) = 9 m/s.
12 seconds at an average speed of 9 m/s ==> (12 x 9) = 108 meters .
==========================================
That's the way I like to brain it out. If you prefer to use the formula,
the first problem you run into is: You need to remember the formula !
The formula is D = 1/2 a T²
Distance = (1/2 acceleration) x (time in seconds)²
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
= (18 m/s) / (12 sec)
= 1.5 m/s² .
Distance = (1/2 x 1.5 m/s²) x (12 sec)²
= (0.75 m/s²) x (144 sec²) = 108 meters .
The initial velocity is the speed and direction of the car at the beginning
of the event.
You just said that the car "starts at zero". You might mean that it starts at
"location zero". But then you go on to tell us its speed after 10 minutes,
so it sounds like the "zero" at which it starts is zero speed.
In that case, its initial velocity is zero.
Answer:
In order to move forward, Letti needs to be creative.
Explanation:
Creative:
A person is said to be creative if that person has ability to think out of the box.
For example: if a person having a problem and instead of using traditional methods of solving the problem then that person thinks about news ideas then that person is creative,
As in our case, letti can use problem solving technique to find a solution of her problem.
Creative Problem technique:
It is such a problem solving method in which we use unconventional ways to get the solution of a problem. We analyze the problems with news view points so that we can reach at innovative ideas of solutions.
