Question 1 Report

If a car starts from rest and moves with a uniform acceleration of 10ms-2 for ten seconds, the distance it covers in the last one second of its motion is
Answer Details
Distance in 105, using, x = ut +  1 2 at2

x = (0 x 10) + ( 1 2  x 10 x 10 x 10) = 500m

distance in 9s; x - (0 x 9) + ( 1 2  x 10 x 9 x 9) = 405m

distance in last is = difference

= 500 - 405

= 95m
