A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 23.7 km/h in 6.5 s

What is distance?

Distance can be defined as the distance between two points.

The S.I unit of distance is meter (m).

The formula:

  • D = Vt............. Equation 1

Where:

  • D = Distance covered by the car
  • V = Velocity of the car
  • t = Time

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 23.7 km/h = 6.58 m/s
  • t = 6.5 s

Substitute these values into equation

  • D = 23.7 × 6.5
  • D = 154.05 m

Hence, the distance the car travels during the time is 154.05 m.

What is distance and how is it calculated? Distance is the measurement of the physical space between two points. It can be calculated by multiplying the velocity of an object by the time it has been traveling. The formula for distance is D = Vt, where D is the distance, V is the velocity, and t is the time.
