A car is moving in the x direction at 12 m/s and then accelerates to 20 m/s in 2 minutes.

(a) Find its acceleration.

(b) Find out how far it will travel in this time.

Answer :

The car will travel approximately 1.9224 kilometers in 2 minutes.

(a). To find the acceleration of the car, we first need to convert the time from minutes to seconds:

2 min = 2 x 60 seconds = 120 seconds

Acceleration = (Final velocity - initial velocity)/ Time.

the initial velocity of the car is 12m/s, Hundreds final velocity is 20m/s. Using the formula for acceleration:

We can plug in the values and get:

acceleration = (20m/s - 12m/s) /120 s = 0.067 m/s^2.

hence the acceleration of the car is 0. 067m.s^2.

(b) To find the distance the car travels in 2 minutes.

We can use the formula.

distance = initial velocity x time + 0.5 x acceleration x time^2

Where initial velocity is 12 m/s, time is 120 s, and acceleration is 0.067 m/s^2. Plugging in these values we get:

distance = 12 m/s x 120 s + 0.5 x 0.067 m/s^2 x (120 s ^2)

distance = 1440 m 0.4824 km

distance = 1.9224 km

Therefore, the car will travel approximately 1.9224 KM in 2 minutes.
