To Calculate: The distance travelled by the in-line skater.
Answer to Problem 36SSC
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The in-line skater first accelerates from
Formula used:
Final velocity with constant acceleration can be obtained by:
Where,
The distance traveled by an object with a constant acceleration can be obtained by:
Here, d represents displacement, v represents velocity, t represents time and a is the acceleration.
Calculation:
Acceleration can be calculated as follows:
Now, assume that the initial position of the car is
Now, the skater continues to move at the constant final velocity for another
Then, the total distance covered by the skater is,
Conclusion:
Thus, the total distance travelled by the skater is
