COMEDK · Physics · 3. Motion In One Dimension

A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly to a speed of \(180 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}\) in \(10 \mathrm{~s}\). The distance covered by the car in this time interval is

  1. A 500 m
  2. B 250 m
  3. C 100 m
  4. D 200 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 250 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Speed of car, \(v=180 \mathrm{kmh}^{-1}=50 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\) and time, \(t=10 \mathrm{~s}\) \(\therefore\) Acceleration of the car, \(a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{50-0}{10}=5 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) Thus, the distance covered by the car,…
