Answer:
Acceleration is 2 m/s²
Distance is 100 m
Explanation:
From definition of acceleration, Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity.
• Simplifying the definition, or modifying it;
[tex]{ \boxed{ \rm{acceleration = \frac{(final \: velocity - initial \: velocity)}{time} }}}[/tex]
• Let's formulate symbols:
[tex]{ \boxed{ \rm{a = \frac{v - u}{t} }}}[/tex]
- a is acceleration
- v is final velocity, v = 20 m/s
- u is initial velocity, u = 0 m/s [ at rest ]
- t is time, t = 10 seconds
[tex]{ \rm{a = \frac{20 - 0}{10} = \frac{20}{10} }} \\ \\{ \boxed{ \rm{ \: a = 2 \: {ms}^{ - 2} }}}[/tex]
Distance = ut + ½at²
Distance = (0 × 10) + (½ × 2 × 10²)
Distance = 0 + 10²
Distance = 100 meters
