Question

An antelope starting from rest reaches 24m/s in 8s.  How far does it go?

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

The initial velocity of the antelope is 0 m/s.

The final velocity of the antelope is 24 m/s.

The time taken by the antelope is 8 s.

 

Step 2

Calculation:

Write the 1st equation of motion.

v=u+at

Here, v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Substitute, 0 m/s for u, 24 m/s for v and 8 s for t in the above expression.

24 m/s=0 m/s+a8 sa=24 m/s8 sa=3 m/s2
