Problema Solution
A car starts from rest and accelerate uniformly over a time of 5.21 seconds for a distance of 110 meter. Determine the acceleration of the car.
Answer provided by our tutors
Vi is the initial velocity in m/s,
a is acceleration in m/s2,
t is time in second, and
d is the distance in m.
With Vi = 0, d = 110m, t = 5.21s
=> 110 = 0 + a*(5.212)/2
=> a = 110 *2 / (5.212) = 8.1 m/s2
