Question

An object with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 8 seconds. How far will it have traveled during that time?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance, d = 192 meters

Explanation:

We have,

Initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s

Acceleration of the object is 3.5 m/s²

Time, t = 8 s

We need to find the distance travelled by the object during that time. Second equation of motion gives the distance travelled by the object. It is given by :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$d=10\times 8+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 8^2\\\\d=192\ m$

So, the distance travelled by the object is 192 meters.
