Explanation:
Given:
Acceleration of car = 10 m/s
Distance travelled in 5 sec = 150 m
To find:
Distance travelled in the next 5 seconds
Concept:
There are 2 ways to app this kind of questions .
Either , we can find the total distance travelled in 10 seconds and then subtract 150 m from it.
Whereas , you can find out the final velocity at the end of the 5th seconds. Using equation of motion, then get the distance travelled in next 5 seconds.
Calculation:
v² = u² + 2as
=> ( u + at)² = u² + 2as
=> u² + 2uat + a²t² = u² + 2as
=> 2uat + (at)² = 2as
=> 2u (10)(5) + (10 × 5)² = 2 (10)(150)
=> 100u = 3000 - 2500
=> 100u = 500
=> u = 5 m/s
Distance travelled in 10 seconds :
s = ut + ½at²
=> s = (5 × 10) + ½(10)(10)²
=> s = 50 + 500
=> s = 550 m
Distance travelled in the 2nd half will be :
d = 550 - 150
=> d = 400 m
So final answer is :
