Kinematics
Hi guys and gals,
I am studying Physics at home and am stuck on some simple Kinematics questions. Y'know the sort, time, distance acceleration type puzzlers?
I am doing fine but in the book I am reading it does not give the formula for working out this little ditty out and I know it is something simple but I've juggled the equation around so much now I am getting sick.
The answer is 114.8km/h. How in the name of Decker do you get that answer? Here's the question:
A car is travelling along a road at 50km/h. If it accelerates uniformly at 1.5m/s2 - What speed will it reach in 12s?
Gotta be simple but...sigh..you try.
Please be a diamond someone and show all your working in a simple jargon-free dialogue!
And if anyone can give advice on the equations you need to get imbedded in your head for these questions I'd really dig it!
Thanks,
The Hannibal.
