a) 10 m/s
b) 25 m
Explanation:
a)
The body is moving with a constant acceleration, therefore we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the body in this problem:
u = 0 (the body starts from rest)
is the acceleration
t = 5 s is the time
So, the final velocity is
b)
In this second part, we want to calculate the distance travelled by the body.
We can do it by using another suvat equation:
where
u is the initial velocity
v is the final velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the distance travelled
Here we have
u = 0 (the body starts from rest)
is the acceleration
v = 10 m/s is the final velocity
Solving for s,
