Question
Two cars start from rest at a red stop light. When the light turns green, both cars accelerate forward. The blue car accelerates uniformly at a rate of 5.2 m/s2 for 4.5 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 13.5 seconds, before applying the brakes such that the car’s speed decreases uniformly coming to rest 440.68 meters from where it started. The yellow car accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the blue car just as the blue car comes to a stop.
How fast is the blue car going 14.8 seconds after it starts?
Explanation / Answer
get the final velocity after accleratio a = v/t
so final speed V = u + at
V = 0 + (5.2 * 14.8)
V = 77 m/s ---------------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<ANswer
