  • Uniform Acceleration: Distance Traveled in 4 Seconds - Physics Problem
    Here's how to solve this problem using the equations of motion:

    Understanding the Problem

    * Initial velocity (u): 0 m/s (starts from rest)

    * Acceleration (a): 10 m/s²

    * Time (t): 4 s

    * Distance (s): We need to find this.

    Equation of Motion

    We can use the following equation:

    * s = ut + (1/2)at²

    Plugging in the values:

    * s = (0 m/s)(4 s) + (1/2)(10 m/s²)(4 s)²

    * s = 0 + 80 m

    Answer: The car will travel 80 meters in 4 seconds.
