A bus travelling at 15ms\(^{-1}\) accelerates uniformly at 4ms\(^{-2}\), what is the distance covered in 10s?
A
150m
B
170m
C
350m
D
600m
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
given: u = 15m/s, a = 4m/s\(^2\), t = 10secs, S = ?
Using:
S = ut + \(\frac{1}{2}\)at\(^2\)
S = 15 x 10 + 0.5 x 4 x 100
S = 350m.
