Physics

Given:
d = 200m (distance),
Vi = 0 m/s (initial velocity),
a = 5 m/s² (acceleration).

To determine the time it would take for the car to cover a distance of 200m, we can use the following equation:

 d = Vit + 1/2at²

Where:
d is the distance,
Vi is the initial velocity (in this case, 0 m/s since the car starts from rest),
a is the acceleration,
t is the time.

Plugging in the given values into the equation:

200m = 0 m/s * t + (1/2)(5 m/s²)(t²)

200m = 0 + (1/2)(5 m/s²)(t²)

200m = (1/2)(5 m/s²)(t²)

200m = 2.5 m/s² * t²

Dividing both sides by 2.5 m/s²:

80 = t²

Taking the square root of both sides:

t ≈
