Your car is initially at rest when your hit that gas and the car begins to accelerate at a rate of 2.857 m/s/s. The acceleration lasts for 15.5 s. What is the final speed of the car and how much ground does it cover during this acceleration?

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Acceleration  = 2.857m/s²

Time  = 15.5s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car = ?

Solution:

 We use one of the motion equations to solve this problem;

     V = U + at

  Where V is the final velocity

               U is the initial velocity

               a is the acceleration

                t is the time taken

    V = 0 + 2.857 x 15.5  = 44.28m/s
