A car moving at 10 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 1.2 m/s². In the next 5 s the car travels A) 15 m. B) 25 m. C) 55 m. D) 65 m.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the kinematic equation: distance = initial velocity x time + 0.5 x acceleration x time^2
distance = 10 x 5 + 0.5 x 1.2 x (5)^2
distance = 50 + 15
distance = 65 m
Therefore, the car travels 65 m in the next 5 s. The correct answer is D.

A Car Moving at 10 M/s Undergoes an Acceleration of 1.2
