Question

The velocity graph of a car accelerating from rest to a speed of 60 km/h over a period of 30 seconds is shown. Estimate the distance traveled during this period. (Use M6 to get the most precise estimate. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
1 km

The velocity graph of a car accelerating from rest to a speed of 60 km/h over a period of 30 seconds is shown. Estimate the distance traveled during this period. (Use M6 to get the most precise estimate. Round your answer to two decimal places.) 1 km

Explanation / Answer

change the measurement unit of velocity 60km/hr into m/sec

multiply 60*1000/(60*60)=16.66m/sec

apply 2nd equation of motion

s=ut+1/2att

a=change in v/change in t

therefore a=16.66-0/30-0

a=16.66/30

put value of a=16.66/30msqaure/sec

t=30sec


u=0 as it is initial velocity

u will get s=249.9m
