Answer:
Correct Answer: 5. (c)
Solution:
- (c) Initial velocity of car $(u)=0$
Final velocity of car $(v)=144 km / hr=40 m / s$
Time taken $=20 s$
We know that, $v=u+a t$
$40=a \times 20 \Rightarrow a=2 m / s^{2}$
Also, $v^{2}-u^{2}=2$ as
$\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^{2}-u^{2}}{2 a}$
$\Rightarrow s=\frac{(40)^{2}-(0)^{2}}{2 \times 2}=\frac{1600}{4}=400 m$.
