A racing car has a uniform acceleration of 4m/s2. What distance will it cover in 10 sec after start?

Given: Acceleration = 4m/s²

To find: Distance covered in 10 seconds after the start

Solution:

We know that initial velocity $u = 0$ as the car has just started

Using the equation of motion $s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

We get,

$s = 0 \times 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 10^2$

$s = 200$

Distance traveled by the racing car in 10s is 200m
