The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Acceleration (a) = 50 m/s² - Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (since the car starts from rest) - Final velocity (v) = 100 km/h ### Step 2: Convert the final velocity from km/h to m/s To convert km/h to m/s, we use the conversion factor: \[ 1 \text{ km/h} = \frac{5}{18} \text{ m/s} \] Thus, \[ v = 100 \text{ km/h} \times \frac{5}{18} = \frac{500}{18} \text{ m/s} \approx 27.78 \text{ m/s} \] ### Step 3: Use the first equation of motion The first equation of motion relates the final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and time: \[ v = u + at \] Substituting the known values: \[ 27.78 = 0 + 50t \] ### Step 4: Solve for time (t) Rearranging the equation to solve for time (t): \[ t = \frac{v - u}{a} = \frac{27.78 - 0}{50} = \frac{27.78}{50} \] Calculating this gives: \[ t \approx 0.5556 \text{ seconds} \] Rounding this to two decimal places: \[ t \approx 0.56 \text{ seconds} \] ### Final Answer The time taken for the car to attain a speed of 100 km/h from rest is approximately **0.56 seconds**. ---
