Question

A car travels at uniform acceleration over a tine interval of 20.0s. its initial velocity is 11.0m/s and its final velocity is 33.0 m/s. what distance did it travel during this time?
880m
220m
440m
50m

Answer 1

Since the acceleration is uniform, we can calculate it from the data we are given:

a = (vf - vi)/2

where vf=33 m/s and vi=11 m/s

Then use Suvat's equation:

x(t) = vi*t + 0.5 * a * t

where t=20s
