Answer:
6.32s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Length of track and distance covered = 200m
Acceleration = 10m/s²
Unknown:
Time taken to cover the track = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations as shown below:
S = ut + at²
S is the distance covered
t is the time taken
a the acceleration
u is the initial velocity
The initial velocity of Superman is 0;
So;
S = at²
200 = x 10 x t²
200 = 5t²
t² = 40
t = 6.32s
