Answer:
10.8 s
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s/s
Distance travelled (s) = 291 m
Time (t) taken =?
We can calculate the time taken for the car to cover the distance as follow:
s = ut + ½at²
291 = 0 × t + ½ × 5 × t²
291 = 0 + 2.5 × t²
291 = 2.5 × t²
Divide both side by 2.5
t² = 291 / 2.5
t² = 116.4
Take the square root of both side
t = √116.4
t = 10.8 s
Thus, it will take the car 10.8 s to cover the distance.
