The time taken by the car to travel 291 m is calculated using the kinematics equation and it is obtained to be 10.8 seconds.

Motion in a Straight Line

Here, it is given that;

The acceleration of the car is,

$a = 5\,m/s^2$

The distance covered by the car is,

$s = 291\,m$

Also, the car starts from rest, that means;

$u = 0\,m/s$

We can use the second kinematics equation to find the time taken by the car to travel the given distance.

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}\,at^2\\291\,m = (0\,m/s \times t)+ \frac{1}{2} (5\,m/s^2\times t^2)\\\\\\291\,m = (2.5\,m/s^2\times t^2)$

implies

$t = \sqrt{\frac{291\,m}{2.5\,m/s^2}}=10.78\,s\approx10.8\,s$

10.8 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 5 m/s/s

Distance travelled (s) = 291 m

Time (t) taken =?

We can calculate the time taken for the car to cover the distance as follow:

s = ut + ½at²

291 = 0 × t + ½ × 5 × t²

291 = 0 + 2.5 × t²

291 = 2.5 × t²

Divide both side by 2.5

t² = 291 / 2.5

t² = 116.4

Take the square root of both side

t = √116.4

t = 10.8 s

Thus, it will take the car 10.8 s to cover the distance.

answer: you might love summer weather, but you don’t want it to feel like the sun is inside your car. but a hot car that just won’t seem to cool down might be a bigger of a problem than you think. your car relies on being at the right temperature.

An atom (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6 nm. * if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
