Distance is the measure of the length of ground covered by an object during its motion. Distance is a scalar quantity. The car will travel 69 m while accelerating.
Distance is the measure of the length of ground covered by an object during its motion. While the displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two paths.
Distance is a scalar quantity. While displacement is a vector quantity. Mathematically it is given as the product of speed and time.
The following data are given in the problem as
u is the initial speed=5.0 m/sec
v is the final speed=21 m/sec
s is the distance covered by the car =?
a= Acceleration of car =3.0 m/sec²
According to Newton's third equation of motion, the formula derived will be
[tex]\rm{v^2=u^2+2as \\\\[/tex]
[tex]\rm s = \frac{v^2-u^2}{2a} \\\\\rm s = \frac{(21)^2-(5)^2}{2\times3.0} \\\\ \rm s=69 m[/tex]
Hence the car will travel 69 m while accelerating.
