Before Copernicus most people were thinking that the Earth is at center of universe. In 1609 Galileo observed sky through his home made telescope.
He found 4 moons orbiting Jupiter..It was a proof that bodies are orbiting other planets and not earth alone. <span>He found the crescent shape of Venus through his telescope and this could happen only if Sun is at center.</span>
The first thing we need to do is figure out what equation to use. We will use the following kinematic equation...
Δx = (final velocity + initial velocity) x time / 2
We know that the car accelerates from rest, so initial velocity = 0 m/s
We also know final velocity = 20 m/s and time = 12s
Now we just need to plug everything in.
Δx = (20 x 12)/2 = 120 meters
