A car starts from the rest and accelerates at the rate of 5m/s2. It continue accelerating for 10 s and then move at constant velocity for next 10 s. Calculate the total distance traveled by the car in 20s. (5)

a = 5 m/s2 
u =0
v =?
 
Distance covered by car when it was still accelerating in for 10 s is given by 2nd equation of motion, 
 
s = ut + 1/2 at2 
 
s subscript 1 space equals u t subscript 1 space plus space 1 half a t subscript 1 superscript 2 space equals space 0 space plus space 1 half cross times left parenthesis 5 right parenthesis space open parentheses 10 close parentheses squared space s subscript 1 equals space 250 space m space
Now, it attains a constant speed. This constant speed can be calculated using first equation of motion, 
 
v = u + at 
v = 0 + (5) x (10) 
v = 50 m/s 
 
Now, let's calculate the distance travelled in next 10 s. 
As the velocity attains the constant velocity, the acceleration will become zero. 
 
Hence, 
 
s subscript 2 space equals u t subscript 2 space plus space 1 half a t subscript 2 superscript 2 space equals space 50 space cross times space left parenthesis 10 right parenthesis space plus space 1 half cross times left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis space open parentheses 10 close parentheses squared space s subscript 2 equals space 500 space m space  
Thus, the total distance covered in these 20 s = s1 + s2 = 250 + 500 = 750 m

question 1) A body is projected vertically upwards from top of the tower with the velocity of 30m/s. if it takes 8sec to reach on ground then what is the height of the tower (g=10ms). what is the total distance travelled by the body. question 2) A body is dropped from the height of h covers by 64% distance in its last second.find out thte total tim of the ball and height. question 3) A body projected vertically upward, At the half  of its maximum height its velocity becomes 20m/s, what is the maximum height attained by the body. question 5) A body is projected vertically upward from ground. the time of flight is 8 sec find the velocity of projection.
