Starting from rest, a car travels 1350 meters in 60 secs. It accelerates at 1.0 m/s^2 until it reached its cruising speed. Then it drove the remiang distance at constant velocity. What was its cruising speed? Please show work.

  1. lol you should do your own homework


  2. The distance covered by acceleration = 1350m (which has nothing to do with our calculation)

    acceleration = 1 m/s/s.

    time taken to cover this distance = 60 sec

    Initial velocty = 0 m/s

    Using first equation of motion

    v = u + at = 0 + 1(60)

      = 60 m/s

  3. v (cruising) = 30 m/s

    some crazy car!!

    plot v-t graph

    ========== v = t

    ...................... | --- > -------------------|

    u=0 ------ t -------|------ (60 -t) ----------|

    distance travelled =area under the graph

    let the car accelerate for (t) sec

    a = 1 m/s^2 = (v-0)/t

    v = t >>>> then cruises with this

    1350 = triangle area + rectangle area

    1350 = (1/2) t*t + (60-t) * t

    2D equ Its solutions are

    t =90 s >>>>>>> reject more than time =60

    t = 30 s

    =================

    v = cruising = t = 30 m/s

    1350 = (1/2)*900 + 900 = 450+900
