The formula v^2 - u^2 = 2as is used to model a moving object, where: u= starting speed (m/s) v = final speed (m/s) a = acceleration (m/s²) s = distance travelled (m) A car stops at some traffic lights. It then accelerates at 2.3 m/s² until it reaches a speed of 13.6 m/s. Find the distance, s, that it has travelled since stopping at the lights. Give your answer correct to 1 decimal place.

Answer:

s = 40.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 0 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 13.6 m/s

Acceleration of the car, a = 2.3 m/s²

We need to find the distance, s, that it has travelled since stopping at the lights. For this, we will use third equation of motion as :

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

s is distance

[tex]s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\s=\dfrac{(13.6)^2-0}{2\times 2.3}\\\\s=40.2\ m[/tex]

So, the distance covered by the car is 40.2 meters.
