Acceleration

The car accelerates at rate 0.5m/s2. How long travels 400 meters and what will be its speed?

Result

t =  40 s
v =  20 m/s

Solution:

a=0.5 m/s2 s=400 m  s=12at2 t=2⋅ s/a=2⋅ 400/0.5=40=40  s a = 0.5 \ m/s^2 \ \\ s = 400 \ m \ \\ \ \\ s = \dfrac{ 1 }{ 2 } a t^2 \ \\ t = \sqrt{ 2 \cdot \ s/a } = \sqrt{ 2 \cdot \ 400/0.5 } = 40 = 40 \ \text{ s }
v=a⋅ t=0.5⋅ 40=20=20  m/s v = a \cdot \ t = 0.5 \cdot \ 40 = 20 = 20 \ \text{ m/s }
