Answer:

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Explanation:

If you accelerate at 2 m/s^2 for 10 seconds, at the end of the 10 seconds you are moving at a rate of 20 m/s.

V(f) = V(i) + a*t

Final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration x time

Your average velocity will be half of your final, because you accelerated at a constant rate. So your average velocity is 10 m/s.

Distance = velocity x time, so 10 m/s X 10 s = 100 m

Answer:

100 m

Explanation:

Given,

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Acceleration ( a ) = 2 m/s^2

Time ( t ) = 10 sec s

To find : Displacement ( s ) = ?

By 2nd equation of motion,

s = ut + at^2 / 2

= ( 0 ) ( 10 ) + ( 2 ) ( 10 )^2 / 2

= 0 + ( 2 ) ( 100 ) / 2

= 200 / 2

s = 100 m

Missing question in the text of the exercise. Found on internet:
"What is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet?"

Solution:
The gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface is given by:
$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the Earth's radius

The Earth's mass can be rewritten also as the product between the Earth's density, $d$ , and its volume (the volume of a sphere of radius r):
$M=dV=d ( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3)= \frac{4}{3} \pi d r^3$

Now let's call M' the mass of the new planet, r' its radius and d' its density. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the new planet is
$g' = \frac{GM'}{r'^2}$ (1)
so we need to find M' and r'.

The problem says the radius of the new planet is twice the Earth's radius:
$r'=2r$ (2)
and that its density is 2/3 of Earth's density:
$d'= \frac{2}{3} d$
so the mass M' of the new planet is, with respect to the Earth's mass:
$M' = d'V' = \frac{4}{3} \pi d' (r')^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi ( \frac{2}{3}d) (2r)^3 = ( \frac{4}{3} \pi d r^3 )( \frac{16}{3}) = \frac{16}{3} M$ (3)

And if we substitute (2) and (3) into (1), we find the gravitational acceleration on the surface of the new planet:
$g'= \frac{G( \frac{16}{3}M) }{(2r)^2}= \frac{GM}{r^2} \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}g$
And since $g=9.81 m/s^2$ , we find
$g'= \frac{4}{3}(9.81 m/s^2)=13.1 m/s^2$
