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.
